But violets ARE violas. Pansies and sweet violets are both types of
violae. Pansies, unfortunately lack the violet scent, but are quite
edible. I can buy boxes of mixed flowers in the supermarket.
Pansies/johnnie-jump-ups/good king henrys/heart's ease are in there
along with borage and nasturtiums and some other things that i
forget, to toss into salads or put on desserts or tea sandwiches.
