Well, Wow that is quite the trait! I see what you mean every violet has them, but some are so small, I can barely consider it a leaf, these are quarter sized, and look like the momma leaves, quite unique. I have read that if they are propagated by leaf, they sport, and quite often go back to a faded blue, so am I safe to assume that if I did give it away, it would lose its name and become "a sport of".....Would the suckers bloom true to the parent? These AV genetics stump me sometimes....lol Thanks

Patrick, Is that cedar mulch that you are using on the top of the soil in your pots? I have not bee mulching the top soil of my potted hippies and probably need to since weeds are popping up like crazy! I also wish the try the method that you are using on your Papilio. How often do you water them or do you just let nature do its thing? Ann

Just wonderful to see new ones in bloom, isn't it? I love Sp. Sea Shells every time I see it. The green on the second Paul Owen seedling really looks nice. A guy at work wanted a green daylily and I told him that most are yellow with a greenish cast. Well, this one appears to be as close to green as I've seen. Vickie

Beautiful inflos! Mine are not that close to opening! Our weather has just been too funky this year- hot, cool, hot hot, cool, etc. Jennifer Thanks Jennifer, our weather in S Florida is getting hotter each day it seems. I have several more plants with inflos that should be opening soon. There all very nice John. I especially like the Miama rose and the Aunt Mary. The Aunt Mary is a pretty shade of white and I love the yellow center. Andrew Thanks Andrew! Yeah the Aunt Marys White is from a cutting off a tree in St Petersburg Fl. It was at my aunt's house. We would sit in her kitchen and have coffee, look out the window and see those beautiful flowers. Once she passed on, I just kinda picked that name. Reminds me of her. john how to i get a cutting of that purple plumeria its so pretty Are you talking about the last picture? If so it is called Grove Farm.
