2025 - Wishful growing Advent Calendar

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!
