I will try to plant them anyhow and see what happens. Actually I have come across viola selling at nurseries before but have not seen them returning in the market thus far. Btw, does it stand up well to the rain?Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867061279916535777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174929999542605112.post-63831549783762790432011-04-15T21:24:17.045+10:002011-04-15T21:24:17.045+10:00Dear LH, me too - but I wonder who Johnny is or wa...Dear LH, me too - but I wonder who Johnny is or was? cheers, cmSue Catminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242341696447975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174929999542605112.post-37847894704336593882011-04-12T23:22:12.379+10:002011-04-12T23:22:12.379+10:00I always called these little lovelies wild violets...I always called these little lovelies wild violets.
