Rhode Island is one of 4 states which use the Violet as their State Flower. It's a lovely little flower and like its name suggests it is usually Purple. It can be light Purple, or dark Purple, or any shade in between. Violets also come in Cream, White, Yellow and Blue too. (Go figure) 

Violets have a wonderful scent and are used in many perfumes. They are ancient flowers as the Greeks and Romans both made wine from Violets and rhapsodized about them. They are small and bloom in the Spring for several months.
