Lovely bonitin, we are having snow now too, not settling much, it was 0C here in the middle of the day but snowing, it often snows at around 4C.

I searched for your C Violet Queen, it seems C tommasinianus hybrids or C vernus are being sold as that according to this article

I found a pic of Violet Queen, scroll down the page.

I had some open on the 1st February, some yellow, one Flower Record, and I have a small group of a self set which is very delicate. It started with one and has increased, a very pale purple-pink. The camera has trouble with it, last year I found it impossible to get a good pic and this year is the same. It's almost as if it has an ultra violet colour band, or reflecting it, it always blurs and has a bright illuminated edge to it. This is perhaps the best I have ever got of it, taken after 4pm as the sun was getting low. The colour is fairly accurate.
