I love wild violets, too. When I can find a bunch of them, I put them into my sterling silver baby cup and put it on the bathroom vanity or sink. Makes a pretty little arrangement that way.I love wild violets.....
My favorites are peonies, magnolias, lily of the valley, and pale pink roses.
These are peonies from the garden about three years ago, and the other is night-blooming jasmine outside my place in California. It literally awakened me at night if I slept with just the screen door closed.

But then there's always the bougainvillea that grew all over L.A.

When my mom died, I took transplants of her peonies. One was that pale pink, the other a darker purply red. I use them now to put on graves.My favorites are peonies, magnolias, lily of the valley, and pale pink roses.

So do you associate them only with death? It's a shame if that's the case, but I understand the urge to put them on a grave - they're just beautiful.
How do you propagate them?
Redbuds and ornamental cherry trees are my favorites in the spring.

Oh, absolutely not! They just bloom right before memorial day, so they are big beautiful flowers to take. And I keep some too for inside my house. I hope my bushes will be as full and abundant as my mom's were, they were huge gorgeous flowers!
I just dug them up in the fall (apparently best time) and dug a hole in my yard and planted them, mulched them heavily and prayed that they would take. And they did!
Oh, I thought you meant you took cuttings or something. I have four peonies, two pink and two white, which my dad ordered as bare root plants that he and I grew. They're doing well.
No, I actually dug part of her plants up. Should've dug them all the way up and brought the whole kit n' kaboodle.
But obviously you didn't need to. I guess the roots multiply.

Wow! Looks like bugs crawling up the stalk of the orchid - gorgeous.
Two more of my favorites. Lilac and honeysuckle.
