Oh yes Blackberry Jam as you can see is more red-purple star and Black Ace is Semidouble dark burgundy/white edge it has a very deep velvety look.
Here is Blackberry Jam from FC
Oh and I bought mine from Bluebirds and the foliage is dark can't see any variegation. This happens a lot maybe babies will variegate if cool. It has never bloomed for me.

Violet, do you keep them under lights at night?

yes most of them. Many are grown in natural light.

Allison..just gorgeous....so pretty.

Thanks Bob Thanks everyone. You will be getting one Bob :))

Know wonder I am running out of room. The violets I really like are the large standard variety. When mature I can only get two to a tray. Oh, dear.

Breathtaking! Thanks for sharing :-)
