@joannakat

Looks like Violas to me. They sure are a beautiful purple. Maybe Sean can tell us the variety names of everything. Thumbs up

Sorry for the delay. Just home from graduation weekend. The daughter we share graduated from Med School! We've got a new doctor in the family! Hurray!

Thanks all for the thumbs and wonderful comments. Special thanks go out to @bootandall, @cliftoncat, @Fleur569, @Marilyn, and @tx_flower_child for the acorns.

Here are some images of the flowers in the shot:

The boxes caught my eye at a NY Botanical Garden tour (orchid show was wonderful). I'm still working at the fine art of crop and chop. I'm not help at the cultivar names but violas and tulips are my guess, too. Smiles all around!
