''Sweet violet, sweeter than all the roses."
In the seasonal soap opera of the garden, the Violet plays the part of the ingenue. Its understated beauty, down-turned head, subtle sorrowful color,fleeting fragrance, and general air of artless innocence make us ever fearful that the violet may be overlooked, and therefore we seldom overlook it. We can also use the violet in cooking and medicine, although there it goes in and out of favor, the more sentimental of ages the better.
