TODAY WE'RE WRAPPED IN PURPLE

 

WESTERN LONG-SPURRED VIOLETS
(Viola adunca)

Native to the 
San Juan Archipelago, WA.
This photo was taken 14 April 2025.
More on this local perennial can be 
viewed HERE.
Thanks to a helpful harvester, these 
cleaned Viola seeds are now 
available at the 
Shaw Island Gatehouse
Reefnet Road,
Shaw Island, San Juan Archipelago, WA.

"The shortest route to an intimate 
understanding of a plant's needs is to
tend it from seed packet to maturity."

 'Spring with that nameless pathos in the air

which dwells with all things fair,

Spring with her golden suns and silver rain

is with us once again."
