    Ooh, can you bottle the lilacs and send me their scent?

    John Paul, though I appreciate your tacking my name onto that violet, I think what you found was just viola canina, the common dog-tooth violet.

    I looked up a bunch of these wildflowers, and some of them are fascinating native plants. Look them up in my wildflower books and see!
