Purple flowers, Morningside Gardens 5

Violets.
I know these by name, at least the common name.
Violets.
As a child, I lived on Neville Island:
7007 Front River Road.
Many times in the spring, I would go down by the river and pick
violets
to take home for my mother.
On Mother’s Day and every day, I remember.
