| Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green... |
The Lady Lavender: she's tender, gentle yet moody, sensitive, eccentric, jolie laide... and has much in common with the infinitely more popular Violet. Besides being shades of purple and flowering plants with purplish blossoms, they're also both Roald Dahl characters – and, I might add, Lavender Brown of Matilda was worlds more likable than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's Violet Beauregard. Why isn't Lavender more popular?
