I currently have just three named varieties: Emerald City, Ness' Fantasy Gold, and Always Pink (trailer).

Thanks and hope to see lots of lovely violet suggestions and pics!!!

I'm also very fond of Playful Spectrum:

Grows really well ... and blooms like a champ.

Would you be willing to post a pic of your plant stand? Looks like you have a nice setup. Trying to come up with a practical way to display...

I don't use the pre-fab setups. I light my plants with CFL Fluorescents in floor, table, desk and clip-on lamps.

Most of my plants are fairly new. I had to ditch 135+ plus plants last year due to Broad Mite infestation.

Hoping for a lot of bloom this spring ...

Aegis500, where do you order your plants? I love Violet Barn violets, but they are so expensive.

Your Pixie Blue is beautiful! Nice growing!

Here's a photo of my favorite semi-miniature hybrid. I don't have a picture of this plant in bloom, however I love the variegation on the foliage.

Dean's Silver Veil (8684) 01/28/1998 (C. Hobbs/H. Hobbs) Single-semidouble silver-blue lavender pansy/darker veining, overlay. Variegated green, pink and white, ovate. Semiminiature (TX Hyb)

My favorite miniature hybrid is Shirl's Red Sky -

The first sucker that bloomed was given to my father. He brought it to church and someone actually stole it from him. I'm now in the process of putting down leaves so I can can have even more of theses plants as backups should the thief try to steal again.

Excuse the toilet. She live in a bathroom that receives northeast light through a blurry double paned window.

Toilet is good - it gives extra humidity!

Here is picture. Of the same plant 20 days before the above pic was taken last July.

Here is a picture of the plant today (fading blooms w/ potential seed pods) with two of the suckers I removed from the plant. As shown, the mother plant isn't in great shape, but she's my favorite. Both of the grown suckers are sending up their first flowers now so I'll see how they perform compared to their mother.

I don't do wicking ... or use self-watering pots.

Just regular old-fashioned hand watering of individual pots where the saucers catch the watering overflow. Of course, any excess water must be emptied from the saucers shortly after watering to avoid root rot and the possible death of the AV's.
