Water Violet
Hottonia palustris
Water violet is a short-lived perennial aquatic
plant. The erect flowering stems grow clear of the water by about
20 cm with the blooms set in whorls. The flowers are simple, five-petalled, like a pale mauve primrose with
yellow centers. The feathery leaves remain submerged in the water.
Flowering Period
Water violet flowers in May and June.
Preparation
Water violet is prepared by the sun method. Pick the individual flowers by the stalk
and float them on to the bowl of water.
Uses
Pride, aloofness.
Water Violet people enjoy the quieter things of life. They dislike noise
and disorder, and would prefer to be alone rather than be subjected to
disturbance or interference. Self-sufficient, self-contained, proud and
dignified, they respect other people's privacy and enjoy their own.
There is an air of serenity about Water Violet people - they keep calm
in a crisis and keep their feelings to themselves. In so doing, they may
bottle things up and withdraw into themselves, something which can
cause them to appear aloof and unapproachable. This may increase
the distance between them and other people, and instead of enjoying
solitude they may begin to feel isolated and lonely.
Water Violet animals have a similar disposition. They do not complain; they rise above any problem they might have, simply wandering
off quietly and alone to suffer in silence. Generally, they may appear stand-offish, and do not invite or welcome cuddles, petting or obvious affection.
