L’AIR DU PRINTEMPS ~~ QUELQUES FLEURS

Nothing reminds me more of spring than the sweet Wood Violet. 

Computers and blogging continually amaze me.  Being able to instantly research anything that pops into your mind is the purest form of bliss for me.  While looking up Violets, I discovered that it is the state flower for Wisconsin.  I wanted to post a couple of the photos from my collection of Violets, but also must say that spelling Violettes in the French way is also a joie!

Vera Violetta Di Parma

How do you select from 50 photos of Violettes?  The above poster is hanging in my master bathroom.  I wish I knew what the script says; I cannot make it out…..

I studied Porcelain painting for a little while.  Below is a cachepot of violettes that was particularly simple for me to paint because it is just solid colors.  The violettes are from Surrey Garden Greenhouse in Surrey, Maine.  But I believe they originally came from Lyndon Lyon Greenhouse http://www.lyndonlyon.com/.  My three favorite African Violets are Magic Charms, Kings Ransom and Rainy Day Lovin’.  


African Violets were not always my favorite houseplant.  But it is amazing what they are doing with them now.  I  now understand why they are edible!

 

Nippon Violettes

 I love to collect all of my perfume samples in little containers such as this Nippon one above and the Mittertiech below. 

My Grandmother’s Mitterteich Bavaria Germany Violettes



My Grandmother inspired me to love beautiful old porcelain.  She didn’t have much but what she did have was very beautiful and inspiring.  She was very creative in so many ways, generously giving with a beautiful soul.
