Violets

Like Deltas, Violets must be individually selected. You cannot grab a handful
of them without damaging some of them.
They cannot be roughly picked or picked in a hurry.

Like Deltas, the Violet is not the kind of flower that shows off its fullest beauty
standing alone, but is naturally gregarious and looks best in natural clusters.

However, like Deltas, the Violet can stand alone and still reflect beauty.

Like Deltas, although at first glance Violets seem to look alike, on closer
inspection, one notes the many subtle charming and individual characteristics that
make each one distinctly different from its sisters.

Like Deltas, despite Violets seemingly fragile beauty, it is nevertheless,
sturdy and strong because it yields a long stem when pulled.

Finally, like Deltas, even the Violet that has passed its allotted time for blooming
retains the dignity and coloration that bespeaks its exclusive culture.
