Violets are small, sweet-smelling flowers composed of five petals, each about the size of a thumbprint. These petals, are found in nearly every colour and often feature two or three colours per flower petal. The leaves of the violet plants are extremely small, and sometimes entirely undetectable(hard to find).

Violet leaves and flowers are edible and have a delicate, sweet flavour. They can be candied, used to make stuffing and, more commonly, used as a garnish for a variety of dishes such as salads and desserts

Carnations are often considered to be one of

the less exciting cut flowers you can receive. Inexpensive, readily available, and sold in a rainbow of unnatural colours, carnations are the mainstay of the boutonniere or corsage. Don't underestimate the humble carnation however; it has a history as colourful as its varieties.
