Violet Day

Before the poppy became the recognised flower for war memorials, the violet in South Australia, was the ‘symbol of perpetual remembrance’. Violet Day was first held in Adelaide on 2 July 1915. Alexandrine Seager, Secretary and Organiser of the Cheer-Up Society, is credited with the creation of the event.
