The violets were blooming in our city of Pullman. The stem is very thin. It smells sweet. The violet has five petals. The center of the violet is yellow with white stripes.
Violets come in the colors of violet, white, yellow, blue and red.
Here is a side view of one of our violet flowers. Here is a front view of a violet leaf. The edges of the leaf are bumpy. We used our hand lens to look closely at the violets. In this close-up image, you can see the veins and the bumpy edges of the violet leaf.
