Y'all might be tired of seeing this, but it sure was a hit at our GARU. I've been calling it my Drive by Brug, since that's how I found it 3-4 years ago, and didn't know I really could give it a name. Anyhow, I do think it deserves a pretty name, what do you think?
Another view showing the deeply cut lobes.
Pinwheel
Gosh, it is too late tonight for me to even think. It deserves a great name.
I'm not tired of seeing it. It's really cool.
I'm no good with names, but I will think about it.
Kris
Beautiful Vi, pick a pretty name for it.
How about:
Snowflake (Flocon de neige)
White Cotton (Coton Blanc)
White Parasol
White Christmas
Downey
White Peal
I tried. LOL!
Cindy
I think it needs a name like 'Southern Charm'. I like it!
i really like this, glad i got to see blooms in person.
Thanks everyone! Ok Ludger, this was your idea, where are you?
Boy it sure is easier to name someone else's brug!
I was thinking something like flirt or vivacious or dancer, to try and catch the movement, and show uniqueness.
Main Entry: vi·va·cious
Etymology: Latin vivac-, vivax, literally, long-lived, from vivere to live
Date: circa 1645
: lively in temper, conduct, or spirit : SPRIGHTLY
This isn't easy, I don't want a mouthful!
Vi, I vote for "VI"vacious - - that way we would think of you!
I love it!!!!!!!!!!! it has to be vi, that is just perfect!
Gorgwous brug! That is too perfect, Vivacious! You know, you could name all of yours beginning Vivacious or Vi.
Vi's southern dancer
Vi's snowflake
Vi's Pearl (you found/created one)
Vi's Pinwheel
or
Vivacious dancer
Vivacious star
Reminds me of this painting called the naming of the flowers where a little girl is getting help from fairies see a print: http://www.animationartwork.com/artwork/sku4717 Do you have any fairies you could talk to? LOL

I like the names starting with Vi also. Can't wait to be able to tag mine with its new name.
I like the "Vi" series.
The polls are still open! Would really like those of you who have a piece of her to help(; Kris, Ludger...y'all know who you are.
Sorry, but this is my one shot--I'm not one with the steady hands of a pollinator, lol!
How wonderful! One of Tonny's babies has a segmented corolla like this too. I love the look. How bout "Viva"
I like VIvacious, but I'm not sure I can say it, LOL.
I think if you are using it you need another word after it. Like VIvacious Flirt or VIvacious Dancer.
I was thinking about the name some today, but didn't really come up with anything, except I thought it could have wings in the name. The flower kind of looks like it has five wings.
You must have been reading my mind! I was thinking of wings, earlier, or a dove or....
Ludger, where's your input please?
Those wonderful blooms have a stonge feeing of purity around them and would be very stunning as a bridal bouquet or in an Easter arrangement.
I can't think of a word at the moment that doesn't sound trite but there has to be one to attach to "VI."
Poppysue, watch your babies, supposed to have a new illness.
A killing illness.
Vi, I would like: Shredded Viola.
You are such a great person, like to see your name with this brug:-)
Vivacious is such a great name, you should save it for your first baby. Snowflake seems to really fit its looks. I wonder what makes the petals be so deeply lobed. This is the 3rd white I have seen like this in the last 2 weeks. I wonder if there are any colored ones also. I sure like its looks. Maybe you could hybridize it in yellow or pink Vi. That would be really special.
Thanks for your warning, Ludger :o)
Ludger, we cannot shred Viola! lol....
I like "Snowflake" gives you an instant visual of the shape.
Vi's Graceful Dove......naaa not a good one.
I am clueless here but I do think your name should be part of it. Leaving it as just snowflake or snow white dove...just doesn't give you enough credit.
Will be thinking more on this.
Molly, she might be saving 'vi' names for when she starts her own crosses. I like Snowflake too, it does paint a picture.
Vi's Virgin Bride?
How about Viola Cream?
Vi's roadside
or Vi's roadside find
Vi's find
Viola cream, I like that too. I like a lot of them. Now you have a cache of names for the next generation!
?????
:D :D :D

Those are all great names. O.K. Vi pick one. She is a rare treasure.
He Donna, how about Vi's Rare Treasure?
That is supposed to say "Hey Donna". I'll never be able to get one post just right.

I like Vi's Rare Treasure. I think that is perfect.
Yes, thatīs!!!
I LOVE: Viīs Rare Treasure.
Really perfect name.
Wow my comment on the beauty of her will be a great name. lol. Didn't think about it at the time I said it. How about it Vi.
how about Vi's white whirly bird
VI?
Where is Vi?
I was thinking.... 'Flying Nun'. It sorta reminds me of the cornette she wears. Or maybe 'Vi's Cornette'?
Sorry, I'm back home. Lord, more neat names.
Also had an emails for "Star of Violabird", "Vi's Star", "Wings of Vi"... and several others...thanks for too many suggestions, lol (~;
Do ya'll know it took me 2 weeks to name my poor puppy?
Geesh, I know I'm a pain here, but could we vote some more?
"Lady Vi"?
farizona, that is a good one!!
