Lynn,

They don't really have any roots as they were fused to the main crown. The only one that seems to have roots is the youngest of the bunch which I placed in a clean Crystal Light mix container (the containers the mix itself is stored in then placed in the big labeled containers for easy storage).

It's possible it could be a trailer but I really don't think it is, though as it came from a Grocery Store from a Nursery in Jacksonville, FL (Loops Nursery) so I'm wondering if it's possible that the Nursery that the Grocery Store bought the plants from mislabeled the Violet. either way, I've got the ones that have no roots in their own containers and will dome them since they don't really have any roots that I could see. As you can see here on the main "sucker" that looked like a 2nd crown the root source that came apart from the main crown are practically non-existent.
