      Haha! Thanks for noticing the joke and watching! I often wonder if anybody notices my cheesy jokes.

    Thank you for the wonderfully informative video, also a calming voice which was easy to listen to and thank you to Adam, he did a great job too! How fun!
    This reminds me, as a kid my grandmother told me a story, as we ate the petals, about a tired pollinator soaking their feet in the tub from a day of hard work 😂 she was the best of the grandmas honestly, and if you look closely at the sack😅
    I wish I could remember her words to the story.
    Miss you, Grandma ❤️ till we meet again❤️

    I bake violets and rose petals into shortbread cookies. Either flower can be dried and kept for use in winter baking.

    Fantastic descriptive video on violets, my dude!
    Your voice is freaking amazing, too! You sound like a character named Jim from an earlier 2000's cartoon called Mission Hill.

    How would one tell the difference between this violet and Viola odorata? They look super similar to me, and I think I have the former already in my yard but I want to replace it with the native one.
