Violet

My grandmother loved violets. There were always ten or more plants growing happily on her table by the back door. One time I commented on the sprig of artificial violet flowers she had tucked into one of the non-blooming plants. She said that when they weren't blooming, she liked put the fake blooms in there to "give them the idea." As if the power of suggestion worked for plants too! I think she was onto something and whenever I'm in floral department of Micheal's, I'm tempted to buy myself a little sprig of violets...
