O wind, where have you been,
That you blow so sweet?
Among the violets
Which blossom at your feet.
The honeysuckle waits
For Summer and for heat
But violets in the chilly Spring
Make the turf so sweet.

Hi, guest! I wasn't really expecting company right now, but come into my violet patch. Just don't step on the flowers! My name is Iolenia, but I'd imagine you already knew that. I bet you came here to learn about me and visit my flowers, huh? Well I can tell you this place wasn't always so pretty. Before I decided to live with my owner kelpination (we pets just call her Kelpie), this place looked awful! I often make the joke that Kelpie has a black thumb and is better off buying her plants dead and saving herself the grief of trying to keep it alive. That's how I met Kelpie. While wandering around Neopia I saw this poor pitiful garden and I just HAD to come help out. So everyday for about a week, I came and nursed this garden back to health. One day (it had to have been another week later at least), Kelpie came out with her spade and watering can and she was amazed at how good the garden looked. When she found me there she told me what a hard time she had keeping her garden alive and asked me to live with her and help keep the place looking nice...and I've been here ever since. Thankfully, Kelpie cooks better than she gardens, so we have a good mutual relationship here. I needed a home and food, and she needed a pretty garden. She's a great owner and I wouldn't leave her for anything.
