William Shakespeare's favorite flower, violets are often associated with modesty and loyalty stemming from their subtle beauty and tendency to thrive in quiet, shaded spots.
A combination of delicately hand-painted violet and lavender silk habotai and silk chiffon petals are paired with hand-dyed yellow sparkle stamens and three emerald green silk velvet leaves.
The violet is the birth flower for the month of February and is the state flower of Illinois.
