Traditionally, the Violet was the real flower of Valentine's Day, not the Rose. Valentine was persecuted by a Roman Emperor who imprisoned him. In prison, Valentine would crush the Violet flowers growing outside to make into an ink for writing on the leaves to his friends. A dove collected these messages. He was executed on 14 February 269 AD. In Hindu mythology, the Violet symbolises the phallus of the god, Siva. Dreaming of violets will bring good fortune! Wear them round your neck to stop getting drunk! Old herbalists recommended Violets for ague, epilepsy, eye inflammation, pleurisy and jaundice. Violets have been used in bridal bouquets for centuries - symbolic of faithfulness and warding off evil. Violets have also been used as symbols of fasting or mourning. In the nineteenth century they were emblematic of death at an early age. Were also scattered on floors to make the room smell nice.
