Steve - I am sorry, I didn't want to imply that you do not know what minis are.I am sure you know. I copied this info just for reference. What I was saying - is the way the industry grows the plants for WM - is to grow a young plant in a very controlled environment very fast, force them all to first bloom at the same moment and sell them now. They are immature plants, plus they are jeopardised by this forcing - I presume by temperature and hi phosphorus fertilizer - that's why they have trouble adjusting afterwards. Whatever is sold in 4 inch pots - they are all standards, I am quite sure. At the same time they sell small pots (2 1/4") with minis and semis - I bought Rob's Boondoggle in Lowe's once - but again - you never know without a label - but the bloom on this variety is quite typical. Another thing I would look for - is the size of the leaf. Even if it is a young plant - the leaves on standards are ... standard size. Since WM is not known to be a super nursery - I think they can actually stick any plant into any pot and believe that it is all cabbage and roses. So - let's not argue about what they sell - they themselves do not know... Again - my apologies irina

Yes, it sounds as if you have seeds. You will have to wait until the seedpod becomes brown and swollen. It takes about 9 months for a seed pod to mature. Nancy

You're absolutely correct, Irina. I should have added that as my collection grows, I cannot and do not keep all my violets potted in ceramic. I have a few that are my special favorite flowers and they are "shown off" by being in the pretty pots. Most of the others are growing in small plastic pots or cups in a mat watering system. But, in my own opinion, as a new grower it is good to try a number of different options and see what works best for you in your own environment. I might also say that buying some "expendible" plants, like inexpensive ones from the big box stores, is a good way to experiment and try different ways of doing things. Leaves can always be rooted to replace any failed trials! And Jerome, addiction is the way of life for those of us who have become smitten with AVs, Enjoy it!

Not sure who told you that, once you run the Norton removal tool it does a very good job of removing all the files. My advice is to install a Free Anti Virus software like Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast. Here is a link that might be useful: Norton removal tool
