Bashful faces hide

Turned away from sun’s caress

Own beauty unseen

“Turned away from sun’s caress” – loved it

Also, those are some DEEP shades of purple. Never seen that on violets before, myself.

  Thanks. These are the wild violets from which our garden varieties were grown. There are banks of them… and all this colour or pure white.

    Our wild ones are usually a much lighter purple. I should go check them sometime.
