Can someone help me, please!

Back in 2006 when I was visiting the US, I ordered some leaves from Rainbow Violets (Nancy). When I got back here, the labels were all mixed up! Now all the plants have bloomed but I cannot track their IDs.

Here's what I have (spelling could be wrong):

Mac Southern Spring time

Classic Rock

Frosted Denim

Ness' Grape Fizz

Galactic Storm

Frosty Folic

Black Congo

Alchemy Yellow Star

Mac's Tropical Triumph

Irridescent

Could anyone help with some blooms of their own so that I can ID mine?

Thank you very much for your help.

    I usually check out the pics on the AVSA site. They have pics of a lot of AVs. I look at these pics as a sort of second opinion to see if I like the way blooms look, or if the place selling the AV in question just has a particularly nice photo.

    Here is a link that might be useful: AVSA photos

    Thanks, quinnfyre. I was able to locate several of my AVs through the photos on the site you gave.
    But I still couldn't find Ness' Grape Fizz, Black Congo, Alchemy Yellow Star and Mac's Tropical Triumph.

    I found pics of Alchemy Yellow Star (look under Senk's) and Mac's Tropical Triumph (look under Mac's) at Violet Venture. She has Ness's Grape Fizz but no pic.
