The wild violets are blooming now!

My Wild Violets are blooming beautifully now! They of course are host plants for fritillaries, like the Variegated Fritillary. I mostly have them growing between and along my stepping stones:

Here’s a picture from a distance where you can see them around the stepping stones:

We have been replacing our lawn with a native grass, meanwhile – since it hasn’t filled in all the way there are lots of violets growing there. And dandelions too – but they are also pretty.
