Current sample sheets and a couple pics of the liquid i've been using as watercolor, all extracted from purple iris or common violet in slightly different ways, and pH altered to give different colors due to anthocyanins (which i have been reading a bunch about and they ended up being a lot more complex than expected, and deserve their own text-heavy post, this is merely a pretty pictures post to prove i'm alive)

Viola sororia is a species of perennial plant native to eastern North America. It grows well with partial shade, consistently moist soil, and watering regularly.

Violets become a WLW symbol due the works of the poet Sappho
