Sow flower seeds for still life painting and honey bees

Violets in Cherub Vase © Maud Guilfoyle, watercolor, 7 x 5"

Violets are just about to bloom, a little late this spring as it has been naturally cool. While thinking about flowers to plant for still life I am adding Russian Sage and a flowering Cherry Tree to attract honeybees.  I have had mint along our side garden and bees love mint blossoms.
