Freewheeling Violets, Missoula, Montana

During a front-yard chat earlier this week, my neighbour called these violets; and here I always thought they were an invasive weed with pretty purple flowers. Either way, they add vibrancy along the side path to the garage, and so they’re welcome to stay - unless they start hogging too much space. (I can hear the vinca now: "Hey! She's touching my side of the flower bed!")
