Viola sororia f. priceana, commonly known as the Confederate violet, requires partial to full shade and moist, well-draining soil. It should be planted in early spring or early fall, with a spacing of about 8 to 10 inches between each plant, but it can also be found wild and may be invasive in some areas. A beautiful variant of the Common Blue Violet, this flower is gorgeous in border plantings and edges.

The Passion of Violet (by Gather Victoria): This wild woodland beauty offers one of the most romantic scents of history. Used to perfume the body and breath, this ancient aphrodisiac is also one of our favorite culinary flavors: infused in wines, liqueurs, and old-fashioned cordials & syrups, sweets and confections. Violet has been adding her charms to cuisine for centuries

Different purple flowers in my yard! I know they're violets, but I don't know the specifics
Aw sweet! I'm thinking common meadow violet (Viola sororia). there's lots of purplish violets out there but if you're in the NE or E US (which judging by your leaf litter... I'm guessing u might be) it is likely sororia.
You've also got some ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea), chickweed (Stellaria media), and something in the Plantago genus.
