Viola velour "Frosted Chocolate" 2

Must admit to being dissapointed with this. The description on the seed packet had this lovely flower in shades of "antique brown". It has too much blue, in my opinion, but still, splashes of choc brown, and looking good planted en masse in a dsrk brown basin.

Must admit I rather like them.

They are growing on me now, however. :-)

I think theyre lovely!

Lovely close up of a lovely flower! :)

I would have said they were mostly brown, David! They're very pretty, too

So would I Spritz!

Sort of Cadbury-looking David ?....
brown chocolate with purple wrappers ?..
Very pretty :o)

Good one, Terra!

I wonder if David has tried eating one of these violas to check for chocolate taste ? ;o)

Wouldnt put it past him!
Mind you, he told me black sambucus berries werent edible, so I tried one to see!

.. and you lived to tell the tale ?

Yes, they taste the same as normal elderberries, but are much smaller, so not worth the bother really!!

I'm sure David will report on the taste of the violas... ;o)

Sure he will, if he's brave enough to try them!

Okay, will try some tomorrow and, hopefully, live to report back. :-)

Ok then, but not too much, now!

Very pretty.

Well, have you tried them???????????

Couldn't, Mp, it's been raining all day - good for the violas, but wouldn't help me taste anything but rainwater. Will try tomorrow, if dry.

Yeah, yeah!! I KNOW it's been raining!!! No excuse!! LOL!!

Edibles should be harvested on a dry morning (tomoorow, hopefully) and when there has been no rain during the preceding night (tonight, hopefully).

:-)

OK, OK!!! lol!
