Unfortunately, if you receive or purchase a violet without a name, it's best to leave it as a No ID (NoID.) There are over 10,000 registered hybrids, and some people estimate 3-4 times as many have gone unregistered. This leads to a great many plants that look very much alike, but were hybridized using different plants, by different people, at different times. Your plant is quite attractive. I've always been drawn to the very ruffled semi-double to double flowers, and especially the star-shaped ones. Enjoy your plant for what it is, a beauty. Mark

Beautiful!! I do know you can change the colors with lime. I sprinkle around mine in the spring and get pinks greens and light purple. Saw this in Southern Living. Maybe it is something like that.

This is one of the ones that my grandson and son saw on the way to school. They called right away and my husband went to pick them up. All together there was about 60 cuttings some of the bigger ones were different mostly yellow but the others about 50 are this color. I just have a problem with not trying to start them all. I need to tell them to stop letting me know that someone put a lot in the trash. My son again find some more last week and dropped them off. Not sure where I am going to put them all. Here is a picture of the last brunch of cuttings. Look in the corner and see the really big piece. I can not believe that it is overwheling at this point. Barb

Looks as though you have gotten some good advice so far but thought I would add my 2 cents. I am currently employed as a Medical Transcriptionist and thankful I only have about a year to go before I can retire. I have been a transcriptionist for approximately 33 years and have seen the profession slowly disintegrate. Our hospital started out with 10 full time employees, now we are 3 FT with 2 PT. Last week, we didn't have enough work for everyone so us 3 FT employees took a day off so the 2 part time could get their hours in (we get PTO, they don't). Our hospital installed the voice recognition system about 2 to 3 years ago and it has been downhill for us since then. As people quit, they were not replaced. There are a few doctors that will refuse to use the system and a few that the system can not pick up well enough to transcribe but that's not enough to keep everyone busy. We are now known as editors since we basically listen and follow along with the report, correct errors, etc, and not transcriptionist since we don't transcribe very much now. There are coder jobs that can be done at home as we have coders doing this and so far their positions are safe, I think we have about 10 of those still. This would be a safer position if you think this is something you would like. Hope I have helped in your decision. Lizzann
