I have three grocrery store rejects that I've had for years, and now I'm going to order some mini's from a couple of the sites. Any true favorites for a beginner mini fan? I swore no more ordering but,these are so cute I've got to have a couple or LOL 10....Lauri
Great another MUST have...
Oh, I think all the minis are fabulous -- and I know that doesn't help at all, LOL!
Hmmm.... particular standouts for me (and this may just been because they've bloomed recently) are Rob's Whiz Bang, Rob's Bunny Hop, Candy Crystals, and Peppermint Girl.
Rob's Whiz Bang
Rob's Bunny Hop

Oh, and how could I have forgotten Rob's Love Bite, which had its first bloom recently...
And we haven't even gotten into miniature *trailing* varieties!
Here's a noid I call Guessaroo (sported from Rob's Gundaroo).
O.K .LOL a couple has turned into 4 now =o)) Now to convince DH I need these. I wonder if I can convince him they just followed me home????....Lauri

Hi Lauri, I'm a Cali gal too (and a Laurie too)! Welcome to the forum, where we will all enable any plant addiction possible! (lol)
Rainbow violets is located here in California (safer for shipping this time of year) and I understand she has nice plants http://rainbowviolets.com/index.html
Also check our sticky link (first thread in the forum) for other suppliers. Some still ship this time of year.
again, welcome!

Beautiful Blooms, Allison! I love them all!
Hey, Kenton... Are you falling for another AV with pink blooms, there? ;-)
Lorry, I have a couple of babies coming along.... sounds like I should add "Guessaroo noid" to your wish list?
It looks like your alys baby colors..I bought it at a nursery in MI.called Bordines..They had a nice selection,but just bought the one for now..My others I have are just ones I got as gifts and are just regular everyday ones..!!
Loretta...

My Rosalie is the same way..the FC says white in the leaves but mine is a deep pink color :)
Yes I will ! I just love the pink in the foliage !
Do you have rosalie? If not..I can send you a leaf packet with the storytella ones :)
Lorry which Rosalie do you have ? There are several in FC ?
Rosalie (A. E. Adams) Semidouble dark rose/rays. Variegated dark green and pink, plain. Miniature
>>>??????
Dean's rosalie :)
I am at work now so can't look it up in FC for ya :)
It says in FC that the variegation is white on the leaves but my variegation is a very virbant pink on mine :)
Ok great ! No I don't have this one
Dean's Rosalie (8690) 01/28/1998 (K. Hobbs-Gregg) Double rose two-tone. Variegated dark green and white, heart-shaped/red back. Miniature

I bet the other one is pretty too so cloe in looks.
Rosalie (A. E. Adams) Semidouble dark rose/rays. Variegated dark green and pink, plain. Miniature
Hmm I got mine as Dean's rosalie but it sounds more like Rosalie.
I wonder which one it is...Mine actually is dark green and pink variegated leaves! I have not seen the blooms yet though....Hmm...Perhaps Rainbow Violets mislabeled it?
She sent it to me as a gift plant. I don't think she has it up on her site.
You've got it, Lorry!
Does your maybe-Rosalie have red-backed leaves? Flower color and variegation often seem to vary from the description due to growing conditions etc, but red backed leaves seem to be less variable, so I use them as an identifier.
Hi Violet-Treasure it looks like yours and the sign said trailing A.V...I need your help it's looking sick now and it's only one day old...I wanna cry ..!! :o((
Loretta..
the leaves are dark green and surrounded by a bright pink color :) my Rosalie that is :)
