    Deb, your collection of purple flowers is delightful! The salvia looks so much like lavender, does it have a scent? Thank you for ID-ing the types of flowers (so many folks don’t).

      Thank you! I’m not sure, they were located right next to lavender plants.

        You’re welcome. I had to show the photo of the church you posted last month, to my hubby. He and his brother went there for a few years about 20 years ago. Small world 🌎

          I attended the church until around 1986 when I married and moved to Corona, California. Who was the Pastor at the time he & his brother attended? You’re right it is a small world after all.

          When I attended Pastor Dr. Tim F, LaHaye was the Senior pastor. Pastor Jeremiah Riffe was the Youth Pastor. I know they were both involve with other ministries by the 2,000’s. It is still amazing to have a small connection years later.

    Beautiful viola – it’s such an ordinary little flower, yet so beautiful.
