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.
