Sick of them yet? I will never be. They are colorful velvet that can catch pollen. The viola is an inch tall of contrast, color & texture. AND this wee wonder grows in the winters in Alabama. Summer is its weakness.
add just a spot of purple, so people lean in for a closer look

I was playing with Lily & she turned white!
This is the pink Lily
