I used to have more ultra violets, but have lost them over the years and the only one I have left is Ultra Violet Mars, which isn't doing so well. I was hoping to replace the U V Flash that I lost when I neglected it. There were some other good ones too that I can't remember the names of. Googling Ultra Violets doesn't show much out there.

The Vintage Violets web site seems to be offline lately. Is it permanently gone?

Do you mean the Vintage Violets by Twospirit website? Works fine for me... :-)

Cheryl - hi

drewsviolets.com - carries UV Meteor, Orbit, Steve Reed has Dusk...

Looks like the are mostly gone. They show on ebay from time to to time - looks like there are pics of Ultra Violets on Lone Star Violet Council show so may be you'll get in touch with them.

I will check in our club - if anybody still carries them.

My best wishes - and roses to bloom

Thanks Irina, I appreciate the help. I don't belong to any violet clubs. I'm quite willing to compensate anyone who has the ones I want.

Is Vintage Violets by TwoSpirit what became of www.vintageviolets.org?

cnetter,

Ultra Violets come from Harster; below is a link to their website. They don't sell online, but at least you can ID the ones you're interested in finding.

Good luck.

I have Flash! I found this post while trying to identify a violet my mother bought and gave me in 1996. It either came unlabeled or I lost the label. Both Flash and this violet came in a pot marked as UltraViolet. Flash's name was printed directly on the pot. I had Flash's pot saved until about two years ago. I too find it frustrating there isn't much to find on the net relating to the Ultraviolets, much less flash.

Now I can just figure out what ultraViolet this one is in my photos.
The violet in the photo doesn't usually show this much color. Normally the magenta is around the eye. Grown in cool conditions causes the color to really intensify. I thought it was Anthoflore's Ramsie/Ramsey (I found a couple pictures of an identical violet with that name some years ago) but I don't see it anymore. It's not listed anywhere. I don't know anymore. It is sad to see these violets lost.
