The orchid, tropical and warm.

Woven beautifully by multitudes into intricate leis.

Present for graduations, weddings, retirement.

A daily symbol of love, beauty, and strength.

Fields of lilac, so cool and refreshing.

The sweet perfume brings great happiness and love.

Versatile and ever-present.

She is always there for you.

Kind and graceful as the night sky petunia.

Easily angered and feisty.

But still, you seek her wisdom and presence.

Her bedside manner is soothing and you are at peace.

Calm and serene is the lavender.

The fresh fragrance heals.

She encourages you to your higher purpose.

She is the most precious matriarch and her name was Violet.
