    Went for a walk in the yard to see what I could take some pics of and here is what I found.

    These are wild violets and I have a lot of them too.

    Don't know what these wild flowers are, but they sure are pretty.

    These are Vinca that are planted on the bank along the driveway as ground cover.

    And here is the whole bed.

    I love dainty little flowers in the garden and yours are all lovely CK. The vinca's look just right planted along the driveway in a long swathe like that. I have a few sweet violets growing here too and will leave them to self seed as they look good underneath other plants.

    My back yard was full of those violets. it was like the whole back yard was purple, until I had to mow the grass :-? , but that's ok as they always come back.

    I love wild violets. They were one of my mother's favorite flowers too.

    That is some happy looking vinca! Did anyone know what the little white flower is? Some wild violets grow under one of my figs sometimes.
