Viola sororia. I drew these violets at the beautiful Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois. Along with the rose, the violet is among the most familiar and dearly beloved of our garden flowers. The Romans made a much admired wine from violet flowers, and the violet perfume of Parma has been coveted for centuries. Napoleon liked to give violets to his lady friends, and candied violets from France are a sweet in good taste to this day. —Henry Evans
