should be lavender
and
As always ...stunning Bob :) thanks for sharing!
I need to lodge a complaint that our local HD does not carry AVs.
well now and than i find some good ones...the one is marked a lot like the Dali..but it is more lavender than the Dali...and the maroon and white may be what they call rita....sometimes on the wrappers..they have the name of the growers which in this case is Costa Growers...who sell to ALL..HD's....so maybe a call would help?...quien sabe?
Beauties Bob - they had the same ones at the HD by me
anita...very cool...these are really pretty...here' they're 2.50 a piece..walmart is usually 1.94...
There was a larger nursey by me that had them too! Must have been a big push on them by Optimara! I don't remember the price on them. I was suprised that they didn't have any named varieties. When I looked at the label, the Optimara label said to check their website for plant identification?
For identification of an Optimara violet click here:
http://www.optimara.info/
yep that's what i did...and above i posted what i thought they might be....i think they're quite pretty
yep Kay..that's the site i always go to
Gorgeous!
Kay, I'm pretty sure Optimara has started selling a lot of unnamed violets, too... so if it didn't come with a name tag, you won't get a postive ID from their site. Still, it's fun to have a "looks like X" description of an Optimara noid!
Their Beautiful Bob ! I just love the thumb print blooms :)) OPtimara grow so many plants by the millions and never name them just to sell in stores, so does Ultra Violet, and you see a lot of Optimara Rhapsodie in the stores. I wish they would put names on them but many be Sprots or plants they never named .I've been told in 2003 they stopped naming them ? But who knows. I ordered an Optimara from a so called new series I think it's Southern Bells ? But I'd have to look to check. The plant has pretty bells flowers that I adore and is large plant supose to be an ever bloomer. Selective Garden also part of Optimara
says it is exclusive to them. They sell Optimara leaves and an other sight does but their any where from $ 6.50 a set to $ 7.50 on the other sight for one sight.
When you see the leaves or plants named ones on Ebay they go for pretty good prices. Their not easy to get a hold of cheap. Some people try collecting all the States or Cities, or one of their othere Series.
You can't beat the prices of you beauties ! And Amy bought a whole bunch named at her store ! She even bought the Everfloris Space babies for $ 10.00 each
which I would think rare to find in HD or any store and good price for them ! Amy hope your putting down leaves of all of them :))
Bob First Class has about 17 plants Optimara with patches .
A few like use. Then it depends on what the foliage is.
LIke for one of them ;
Optimara Seurat (8974) 01/31/2001 (Holtkamp) Single white ruffled sticktite/variable pink patches. Medium green, plain, heart-shaped, glossy, hairy, scalloped. Standard
I've always like this one.
Optimara Michelangelo (8327) 12/14/1995 (Holtkamp) Single white/purple-blue patches. Medium green, plain, pointed, hairy, serrated. Standard
Oh Bob I like this one too
Optimara Degas (Holtkamp) Single white/red patches. Medium green, plain. Standard
OK get this Bob It Sports so instead of Optimara giving it a new name which they do with a lot of plants.
Optimara Degas II (8947) 01/31/2001 (Holtkamp) Single white sticktite ruffled/dark pink patches on lower petals, variable pink on top petals. Medium green, plain, glossy, hairy, scalloped. Standard
" They give it a two :))
I love the Sport number two :))
allison..those are really stunning...so pretty...thanks for sharing those pics...and the info
Theirall so beatiful ! Amazng how many .
I love the patches - so pretty!
i agree...
If you have a recipt from Walmart and take it to Home Depot when you buy their violets they will PRICE MATCH and beat Walmart's price by 10%! I bought two from HD tonite, had my Walmart recipt and they sold them to me for Walmart's price plus took another 10% off!
hmmm..kay..will have to try that here and see if it works..thanks
Way to go Kay! Bargain AV shopping at it's best!
Boo hoo hoo I NEED a Home Depot! LOL We finally got a Wal-mart in town just last month but they only have the purple voilets.
None of these stunning colors! I really like the variety or bi-color flowers. Optimara Degas II is wonderful!
You guys have all done well! Keep up the good work!
Oh I like Optimara Degas II :)) I love patches always have !
Not all HD's are the same - I have one north of me that has a great garden section - the one to my south is terrible.
I will just have to start trading for leaves I guess.
But will have to wait until it gets warmer, weatherwise.
