The violets have "broken" the rocks because they grew in small cracks and forced them open. The seed of enlightenment, when planted in the rock hard mind of a completely unenlightened person, will grow and "break the rocks" if given the proper nourishment.

Lily of the Valley, Buttercups and wild Violets, breaking through the tar and cement. Flowering despite adversity. Kinda gives you...hope.
