Thank you! I decided that I wanted to make it when I saw the violets growing in the yard.
When I was a kid in Ohio our backyard was full of violets and I could never get them to braid either. We had some sort of small yellow flower too that I had more success with -- I always called them buttercups but I don't know if they technically were -- and so sometimes I'd stick a violet or two into the braid I was making with those, but even with those, my results never really matched my mental images.
I love the picture of the violets starred through the buttercups, though.
Your thread-assisted version works much better!
I was happy with it! I found out afterward that one is supposed to use floral wire or tape, but I do not feel bad about my solution.
