The previous owner of our house lived here from 1930 until 1988 or so, and the garden still has a few descendants from earlier eras, which we have retained and encourage to grow. Violets are a flower that were more popular a long time ago, and do not seem common in this area anymore. They need a bit more water than occurs naturally here, so we have herded the violets together as ground cover beneath our roses, in areas where we irrigate a little more.
