Wow! those are great! I love the different leaves too. I liked David Senk's violets because they were different and not just the same violet leaf and bloom. Those pictured above are really different! I think they will become quite popular! Thanks for sharing! You are so lucky! tish

I love the delicacy of those blooms, especially the "Chinese strep." Its leaves are wonderful too. It really does remind me of a strep, only the leaves are rounded rather than long and strap-like. Neat!
