It was hard for me to place an order as I had to narrow it down to about 20 that I don't have room for. I know I'll be ordering more in the Fall that I don't have room for. It's so hard I love them all :))
I think I have this one though if not have grown a few but you have to take a look at it's picture .

All the 14 or so plants I got from Violet Gallery last year were blooming size, many had one or two in pot , many came in bloom and never stopped. :))
SPRING KISS -(Lyons) Semidouble delicate white stars with a soft pink blush in the center. Petal edges have a green edge. Medium green foliage with a serrated edge. :))
~ If you want blooming size good healthy plants or if you just like to look at the pretty pictures go to Violet Gallery :)) Enjoy !

Spring Kiss Do you have your orders in for the Best !
That is such a pretty bloom!! Is that one of the ones you ordered?
Oh, wow. That is drop dead gorgeous. Love it!!!!
Wow, that one is just beautiful! I love it.
Isn't it stinning. I'm telling you I bought lot's of my plants from Violet Gallery one for example my Aca's Marie that was blooming with pretty green when I got it and has never stopped blooming :)) I've been able to also share several sets of leaves of it and baby plants as the plants come a nice mature blooming size. And healthy too ! If your thinking of buying good prices, low shipping it's a place to shop or just look at the hundreds of pretty pictures !
Aca's Marie (J. Brownlie) Semidouble pink pansy/green-white edge. Variegated medium green and white. Small standard
I need to put my picture in First Class theirs has no green. :((
The name is perfect for it! Spring - green edge....kiss - pink center!
Yes it is just in time for Spring wouldn't be nice to get a good size blooming plant :))
I can vouch for Ali, that Aca's Marie almost hitched a ride home with me! It's one of my fav's that she grows! I was the lucky duck though because I came home with Aca's Grandchild! (baby of the one shown!0
I have Spring Kiss coming from Tea's on eBay. There are a few up for sale if you can't wait until VG ships.
I also put in my order with Pat of the Buckeye fame.
I ordered;
Buckeye Lavendar Mist-Semi double dark lavender ruffled pansies; frilly green edge. Dark green, pink and cream ruffled foliage. Large.
Buckeye Lucky Irish-Semidouble to double very dark frilly purple stars. Variable green edges. Variegated medium green and wide cream slightly ruffled serrated edges. Large.
Buckeye Leprechaun Charm-9412-Semidouble ruffled/lavender pansies. Variable frilly purple top petals with white or green edge on dark green, pink and cream variegated foliage. Second best new introduction at the 2005 National Convention. Large.
Buckeye Scrumptious-Large double darkest blue/purple with just a hint of green on petal backs and edges. Dark green, pink and cream variegated foliage. Standard.
Buckeye Seductress-Double dark lavender with wide white edges surrounded with a row of green edges, held high above very symmetrical medium green and cream variegated foliage. Standard. This is a “Must Have” for green-lovers.
Since I'm a green petal junkie, had to have Seductress. Plus I ordered a few others and a couple of the Russian leaves. Hope they do ok for me.
I have BUCKEYE IRISH LACE-(Hancock) White semidouble blooms with ruffled green edge, variable fuchsia streak Foliage is wavy, quilted, varigated.
Coming from Violet Gallery ! Many time try to win one on Ebay but they always went to high $$$.
Now I'm glad I lost I'll be getting a blooming or blooming size plant for the quarter of the cost !
I have a rooted leaf down if BIL from BloominJungle 2 for one leaf special in Jan. (or was it cedar creek, I can't remember)
Laurie this is Green Machine they started to put Aca's in front
http://www.violetgallery.com/html%20pics/greenmachine.html
GREEN MACHINE- (J. Brownlie) Semidouble flowers of white/pink with light green edge. Standard foliage.
There are only two green Machines. This one hardly ever shows any green so people can't show it. It's a Canadian Hybrid by J. Bronlie and J. Brownlie also did Aca's Av's so someone started putting Aca;s in front of the name calling it Aca's Green Machine.
Their both the same plant.
Rebel's Green Machine (R. Bann) Semidouble pink large star with narrow green edge. Dark green, plain quilted glossy, scalloped foliage with red reverse. Standard (User Database)
Is the second one.
BUCKEYE IRISH LACE it's a real pretty one !
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I believe I have both now and can stop looking for all three.
Green Lace I gave you. Check the picture out !
http://www.violetgallery.com/html%20pics/greenlace.html
I KNOW! I get so excited at the prospect of that one blooming! (wiggling in my seat!)
Check this greeny out ! I had to order it from Rob's
http://www.robsviolet.com/ma's_lily_pad.htm
Ma's Lily Pad. Best New Cultivar at 2005 National AVSA show. Sdbl. white stars with distinctive green edging. TL variegated foliage. An absolute must for "green" lovers.
Oh let me know you all who got Silver Smoke I gave them all away when it blooms. I bought the leaves on Ebay.
Tommy Lou very nice April I do have
Tommie Lou (1744) 10/25/1967 (T. Oden) Double white/light orchid center. Variegated dark green, plain, quilted. Large
Which plants with this type of foliage is named after. When I bought the plant it was very small and still too small to put leaves down.
If you stick to vendors like VG and most others I find I get plants large enough to put leaves down, share leaves, and still have a good size blooming plant ! I'm learning.
Yes, clearly size does matter! And yes the difference in plants from EBay sources vs. good vendors! I am looking at one called Happy Harold. The leaves are amazing! Do you have a photo of your Tommy Lou?
No I don't sorry it's small I know I paid at least 7.00 and high shipping one plt. on Ebay it's still small months later :((
I'd love to get a Happy Harold someday. My list was so long I had to cut it down to like 20. Mist of them are nini's , girl leaf, or Vintage plants that I ordered and have no room for. lol I always put leaves down to share of all my plants !
Allison, I have ordered it from VG and if they send it I will put down a leaf for you! Ooh I can finally give something back to you!
April I can't remember if I ordered a Happy Harold from VG but if not I may next time. If I had a choice between only having one Happy Harold or Tommy Lou
it would be Happy Harold !
Thanks April I will be putting down leaves of all of mine too. I want to share a lot of plants in the Fall for people to have to cheer them up all winter :))
I grew two of thses and gave them away and tried to buy last fall they were out of so I am getting one ! Girl, mini and green :))

I could if I had room and $$$ buy one of each. lol
I am so excited I can't wait. The order I got from them last Oct. was fabulous !
Oh, I have a teeny tiny Ruth's girl. I ordered a leaf and they sent a pup!
I saw that Lily Pad! Drooled and then waited until their shipping charges came down. I think we're almost there with the cheaper shipping.
My wish list for Rob's is getting too long! Every time I visit I see something else I can't live without.
I think I have to have their ficus quercifolia too!
I paid Spring shipping he is shipping on the 10th but made it clear would not gaurentee until the 16th. of April. But Lorry got her's Ok and I wanted something Special for my Secret bunny swap and he's the only one that will ship that was on their list. So I'm taking my chance. I was not going to pay $22.00 to ship one plant and extra on top of that for each plant.
I only ordered 4 plants and got the $ 12.00 Spring shipping for the 4 plants !
That is a beautiful plant. I really like it a lot.
