Or…Hermine Hearkens Horticultural Happiness?

Edited awhile after my original post – My friend Maddie‘s Mother-In-Law loves violets. She is in Hospice care. This post is in honor of her life. She is from Hungary as my grandmother was. I leave you with a Magyar Blessing:

Where there is love there is peace
Where there is peace there is blessing
Where there is blessing there is God
Where there is God is all we need. (there are no needs)
