• 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!
