This Flower is the largest genus in the flowering plant family with 525-600 species... found mostly in the northern hemisphere...

Perennial, and Annual plants and even a few shrubs...

This specific variety is grown as a cut flower by 1 remaining grower in the USA... Ano Nuevo Growers... cut and harvested in Pescodero CA...

Check out this week's CA Grown Experience to see Don Garibaldi... America's Last Violet Farmer... Click here to watch! 

These flowers are known to have a flirty scent... because of the compound Ionone... which turns off the ability of humans to smell the fragrant compound for moments at a time... 

P.S. These passionate purple flowers are known as "Violets"
