  What about wild/wood violets? Parts of my lawn are almost purple from all the lovely wood violets. Can Cocoa eat these? Nothing has been sprayed on my lawn in the 4 years we’ve been here. Not sure about before, doubt it.

  I cannot find anything good or bad about them so to err on the side of caution I would not feed them to Cocoa. I don’t know the proper name either to look it up since I’m sure they aren’t really “violets” but then again, I don’t know.

  Though “violets” are on the diet list, like Sarita— I don’t know what wild wood violets are and when I google them, I end up more confused. So it will take me a little more time, but if anyone is an expert in plants and violets in particular, please chime in.

  I’m not sure if they are wood violets or wild violets… they are pretty though and I know they aren’t African violets. They grow like crazy around here. I’ll pass on this one for now. Thanks

  Violets should be part of the Viola Family, like pansy’s – and therefore Should be edible. The small white and/or purple ones that grow wild are indeed relatives of the ones we use as salad fixings. In Victorian times, The would pick and sugar them as desserts.
