Flower for the Day Violet 4-22-22

My meadow is filled with wild miniature violets. Here is a sweet violet (Viola odorata). Its leaves and flowers are edible but 

it would take a long time to gather enough for even a small salad.

And here is a  Striped Cream  Violet (Viola striata).

                                           somehow so charming –
