Mild Obsession with Violas

Ever since I noticed the viola seeds available at Floret, I’ve been paying more attention to different varieties of violas. They are so cheerful and perky. I’d definitely like to plant some as an informal border in the front yard. One time, I passed by someone’s small front yard and they had violas scattered across their lawn! I’d like to do that someday when I have my own plot of land.

Here are some pictures of the violas I noticed at NYBG. I recognized two of them since I have been browsing obsessively on the Floret website. I like how they are so tall and upright compared to the small violas I normally see at garden centers.
