I was at Home Depot the other day and they had pots of AVs on sale ~~ 3, 4, some of them FIVE violets in one container. You could tell these had been around for a while as all the violets were large and outgrowing the container ~~~~ and none of them appeared to be blooming. Although I vowed to never buy another violet from a "box store" because of my cyclamin mite nightmare.....this one container caught my eye. There in the middle of the display was ONE violet with one single beautiful bloom! I anguished and anguised...and then gave in & bought it. Brought them home, separated them out and I now have 4 new NoIDs.Needless to say.....they are MAJORLY ISOLATED until I am 100% sure they are bug free!!!!!!!!
Here is the picture of the one and only bloom....

That is beautiful. The blossoms is facintating ! Almost looks like Chimera Stipes. Can't wait to see more blooms.
Yes keep them isolated for a good 3 months of longer. And don't work on them and go work on others.. Be careful ! Allison
