Birth Flower For February - Violet

Violet

Violet Bud

As February draws to a close, I had started to get into a lather about not photographing the birth flower for this month, the beautiful if understated violet.

I've just ventured out to the bottom of the garden, between showers and I spotted a little clump growing amongst the scrubby grass.

The violet symbolises faithfulness, wisdom and hope.
A beautiful flower which truly heralds the coming of spring.
