Linda -

you are right - they do not sell AVs any more.

But there are so many double pinks with green leaves - you sure can order oodles of them. Check with Lyndonlyon.com.

Good Luck

Irina

Irina,
They do have beautiful AV's. It is hard to choose. Thanks for the info.
Linda

Linda- choose 12 pink ones! You need to catch up for time you didn't grow them.

Irina,
LOL, wish I had the room.

Linda

You can always find room. :)

Tupelo (Volkmann) Double bright pink. Dark green, plain. Standard (TX Hyb)
Touche (6452) 12/23/1986 (Eyerdom) Double pink-orchid/red fantasy on edge. Olive green, quilted, glossy/red back. Standard

Since you asked for a long shot I opened FC2 and searched names starting with T - double pink/green foliage (shimmerly doesn't seem to be a key it recognizes :) and looked for greenhouse names from the old days...my best guess!

Regarding Lyndon Lyon's violets, ... I've had wonderful success with them, ... they're healthy, and primed to grow and bloom.

As for his pinks ...

Irish Iridescence is beautiful, shimmery, semi-double pink, with variegated foliage.

Maybe you could contact Gurney's and see if they have any record of violets they used to sell?

lilypad22,
I didn't think of that. I will try it. It's been many many years ago but who knows maybe they will have those records. Can't hurt to try can it.

Thanks

aegis,

Great pics, I'll have to look for those two, just beautiful.
