I can only think of the Umbrella Plant.

Violas lots of them. Vegetable plot finished

How about a whole bed full of V's, veronica, verbascum, verbena and viburnum. I'm sure there are loads more.

Violets for me. Some of the sweet smelling Devon Violets that used to be picked and bunched in Devon and taken to London every day on the Violet Train. The perfume of all these massed bunches must have been overwhelming ------- maybe even enough to overcome the smell of the Flower pickers' sweaty armpits and unwashed clothes.
The violets in my garden have short stems. I presume the Devon ones were a bit more robust. I fancy picking a bunch of Violets every morning for the house!

Wonderberry. Only recently discovered these. Definitely been added to my plant list.

They also belong to the nightshade family along with tomato's and peppers but look too much like the 'deadly' variety for me to enjoy eating them. A novelty I grew one year only then gave up on.
