Violets were favoured most particularly by Queen Victoria.  In fact, so deep was her admiration for this purple posy, that she referenced them over one hundred times in her diaries!

Unlike her public image, Queen Victoria must have had (and was reputed to have) an extremely passionate soul.

See my "Folklore Fun Archives" for a much more flattering image of this incredible lady!  Or click here:  even-queen-victoria-can-be-queen-of-the-may-queenvictoria.html
