These are the letters U-Z of my Northwest Natives Alphabet Set. The full set will be exhibited at G.Gibson Gallery in Seattle. Since the show is in the Pacific Northwest I thought I'd make a tribute to my neck of the woods. Every letter is paired with species that is native to the PNW (Pacific Northwest). Please stop by to see the show if you're in town.

V is for Viola
There are MANY native violas in the NW. They are one of my favorite plants in the garden, truly carefree and well adapted to our region. The flowers are edible, I love candied violets as well.
