The white ones were especially favoured. Recently, I found some growing wild that were white with mauve streaks and took a cutting which has been growing well. Beautifully scented, too, which is a bonus.<br /><br />When my grandmother came to England from Poland as a young woman, 100 years ago, the only items she brought with her were a set of violet patterned cups. They are now greatly treasured by my sister and ready to be handed onto the next generation.<br /><br />Lovely post as always, Janice.JOHN SHORTLAND, Cotswold Hills, England.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11702000270961029986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069149801108945582.post-13419340583170741122013-10-12T11:16:58.597-04:002013-10-12T11:16:58.597-04:00Yes, I have tasted violets!
