| | Violet (plant) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Violets (Viola) are a genus of flowering plants in the family Violaceae, with around 400-500 species throughout the world, mainly in the temperate Northern Hemisphere but also in Hawaii, Australasia, and the Andes in South America. | | | One quirk of some violets is the elusive scent of their flowers; along with terpenes, a major component of the scent is a ketone compound called ionone, which temporarily desensitises the receptors in the nose; sniff all you like, you won't get any more smell from the flower. | | | Most violets are small perennial plants, but a few are annual plants and some are small shrubs. |

| | African Violet - Plant of the Week |
| | Plants must be fertilized regularly when making active growth with any balanced houseplant fertilizer or one of the special African violet fertilizers on the market. | | | The African violet (Saintpaulia ionantha) is a member of the tropical Gesneriad family and is related to such plants as gloxinia and streptocarpus. | | | If the light is managed correctly and the plants have fertilizer during periods of active growth, it's possible to produce three flushes of blooms a year from the plants. |

| | The flowers are full of honey and are constructed for bee visitors, but bloom before it is really bee time, so that it is rare that a Violet flower is found setting seed. | | | Some butterflies feed entirely on Violet, and the stem of the plant is often swelled and spongy in appearance, due to insects, whose eggs were deposited on the stalk during the preceding summer. | | | The plants may have been healthy enough to begin with and they were probably well and truly planted, but after the first season of bloom they were allowed to spread and become overcrowded. |
