A Quote for Monday


"The splendor of the lily and the whiteness of the rose do not rob the little violet of its scent.  If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness."  Therese of Lisieux

The violet is the flower for the month of February, although whoever decided that it should be so must have lived in a very temperate climate.  I took this in April of 2012.

  2. I love how some of the smallest, humble flowers pack a powerful punch. One can smell them long before seeing them.
    Nature's floral pheromones :)

  3. Dear Victoria - I agree that violets are definitely a spring flower and not a February one. They are a such a favorite of mine and when they bloom I gather them by the boatloads. Hope you are having a wonderful February. Hugs!
