Flower of the Month: February

The February birth flower is the violet.  Used for culinary and medicinal purposes as well as a potted plant, the violet symbolizes faithfulness, humility and chastity.

According to this site, there were a few different meanings depending on the color of the violet.  If it was violet it would mean "I'll always be true".  If it was a cream or white violet, it would mean "Lets take a chance".

Violets are primarily a potted plant.  If I was asked to put violets into a design, I'd probably do a vegetative garden design with cut flowers and potted plants.  Similar to this design:
