Looking at gems in the garden centre. I made paper violas for my wedding and I based the colouration of one set on the first ones. They always make me happy when I see them
#PirateLuthier update - there are now 12 #violins in my room, 7 are playable and #GoodEnoughForFolk.One will be straightforward to set up, the other four present challenges of various levels. Also, 2 #cellos, 2 #violas, 1 #doubleBass. Oh, and 3 guitars.
violin family: 10 #violins, 2 #violas, 2 #cellos, no double bass. https://bate.web.ox.ac.uk/files/theviolinfamilyedittedpdf-0 Not hugely impressive (but I believe the original collector focused on wind instruments.)
While planting some violas around the house this evening, #EllisSquirrel hung around me. He and his brother even came out to the sidewalk as I planted some under the cherry tree. lol hungry boys.
Merry Christmas on a chilly and wet day in my garden. The pansies and violas do not mind and the narcissus is poking through!
It’s 60F and 88% humidity, even the pansies and violas are “sweating” but looking lovely today.
I am so, so fond of pansies and violas. How can you not just love their faces?! I would grow nothing but pansies and violas all year if I could get away with it, but as soon as we warm up in spring they quickly become leggy and usually succumb to powdery mildew. At least I get to enjoy their exuberance from now until then
Hi #BloomScrolling! GM from the front porch #flowers. One of my Etsy #succulents is still working on its amazing flower spike. The edible #violas are bouncing back from being heavily grazed by the chickens. And I carried a potted #dahlia over for some new color.
The Johnny jump ups just keep on blooming—their sunnny little faces are such a bright spot in my garden #bloomscrolling #violas
The violas have rebound back after that cold spell before Christmas when it got down to minus 6. Looking great now after being deadheaded and fresh flowers coming through. #gardening #gardeningtips #violas #winterbedding
A really cute viola for Day four of the Flower Advent Calendar, a countdown of the most popular Cheering Up Mondays blooms of 2022.
