| I got this from Rob's a few months ago, and it is really a spectacular plant. I had a bit of powdery mildew, but with my new fan that's under control now. Just wanted to share.

I've been growing this violet for about 2 years. I have 4 huge ones now,covered in blooms nearly all year. I got mine from the seller,'Blufford', on Ebay. I thought he 'hybridized' it himself. Guess I was wrong.
I love fantasy violets and that one fits the bill so perfectly. I have it under grow lights, and on window ledges all over my house. They are a tiny bit bigger than the first picture I see in this posting. I didnt even know it was variegated, till i grew it under lights, and it got so big!
Dont care for variegated violets much,but love fantasy ones. Also love 'Outer limits',looks a bit like it, but more spotted, and smaller growing, thankfully, and 'Magic Dragon', for a blue/white fantasy violet..I have all 3. I didnt know Funambule' was so readily available. Glad others love it as much as me:). |

| Mine ailed and I thought I'd lose it. Now it's recovering...but it'll take a long time to grow. Also ordered Alliance at the same time - I think I'm going to lose that. Still has 4 outer leaves, but nothing growing from the crown. Are these varieties hard to grow? Many (most) of my others are doing very well. |

| I love Croteau hybrids! I do not think they are particularly picky, but they are not cast iron plants also. Somewhere in-between. Jerome - if your plantlet lost a growth point - it will eventually give you bunch of suckers you can root separately later. I would take the best leaf out of 4 and put it down for babies anyway. Make sure that the plant is not too wet - because the leftover leaves cannot utilize a lot of water. I. |
