One is too many and twelve isn't enough or "Recognizing Violet Addiction"

  • If you're on a first name basis with the postman...you're a violet addict;
  • If the deli dish your potato salad came in is transformed into a water reservoir...you're a violet addict;
  • If the acrylic blanket you bought for the guest bedroom becomes matting...you're a violet addict;
  • If you can remember the names of your violets but not the names of your children's friends...you're a violet addict;
  • If the clear bakery containers get transformed into hot houses for your leaf cuttings...you're a violet addict;
  • If the bright lights from the plant stand next to your bed regularly wake you up...you're a violet addict;
  • If you find yourself talking more about your newest violet rather than your newest grandchild...you're a violet addict;
  • If you spend more time reading the ingredients on the package of your violet fertilizer than the package of cereal you're eating...you're a violet addict;
  • If the yarn you purchased to make that special afghan becomes wicking for your violets...you're a violet addict!

  1. I have a favor to ask. I see that you have Jolly Jill. I received it in an auction that Ron and Jan Davidson brought to MAAVS. I am growing for a project plant for a club and saw that you might have a description. I also have Jolly Jupiter with no description. Could you share them if you have them? Thanks,Brenda Petry

  2. Darryl, thanks for the chuckles! Based on the survey, I'm NOT a violet addict!
