Woo hooo....at last

No idea why the photos are not the right way up, but you get the general idea?

@Quiksilver

It looks like you have pink and purple versions of my white flowers (which are probably the wild variety) - my second to last photo. Any idea what plant it is?

Viola odorata..sweet violets

The other common 'wild' ones are Viola labrodorica, dog violets. There's a pretty dark-leaved form of that.

You can't really see it but the flowers in the middle are a very pale purple. Almost as if the purple and white flowers have cross pollinated

Also, does anyone know what these are called?

Antonia - the purple and white are all violets.
