It’s always a sweet happy when, whilst walking in the woods, I spot wild violets in bloom. Although our Ontario spring has not been especially warm this year, these beauties - Woodland-whites - are already wide open, perhaps two weeks early.
Most commonly violets symbolise modesty and innocence.
The blossoms are edible and are often used to garnish salads and desserts.
This one was a lovely surprise which is why it is todays one tiny beautiful thing.
