Thanks Everyone!!
Hi Julie..I agree with Violet_Treasure...you should get a violet....and like lay's potato chips..you just cant have one!A few of my violets are very sentimental, as my mother purchased several for me before she passed away last month.My violets give me great enjoyment and comfort.I am so happy my violets gave you some great memories of your grandmother ;0)
Susan..I have bought a few violets from that ebay seller. I have never had a problem with destech and his/her violets are always nice. If you dont buy a Tipt from them, I should have a plantlet of Tipt in the spring! I have the most enjoyment hunting for the "hard to find" violets. I prefer vintage and rare ones because they are so much of a challenge to find and when I do find one its like finding a treasure! ;0) So far I now have found 14 violets that are on the AVSA most wanted list!
lovesdaylilies... I waited for my Splatter Kake to bloom...and after a month of waiting it just started producing buds...ALOT of them and "poof" they were there and it doesnt seem to quit blooming. I just love the splashes of color! The violet you mention is called Pow Wow.. and its one of my favorite ones. Heres a picture of it
