They are a very versatile flower. I have learned from my foraging that they can be used to make teas, jellies and dyes. They also dress up any salads. There are 900 varieties around the world. The U.S. claims 77 varieties. I remember as a child, I would pick them to add to my crown of flowers. It’s a precious memory. What flowers give you warm memories. Maybe you should “stop and look” more closely to your surroundings. Now, go pick some violets and brew a cup of tea. Don’t forget to make a flower crown to wear while sipping your tea.
