hello folks,

I purchased that curious plant last week, at "le festival de la violette" in Toulouse. It's a viola 'Parme de Toulouse' ... Perhaps to much chemical treatments against diseases on it.

a totally green flower


a partial green flower.

Have you never seen a such incredible viola ?

You can see another violets on my "album photo"

Best regards

Denis

Wow!
Nice one Denis!
And nice one, whoever grew it!
Now all we need is a green-flowered one with purple leaves ?! :)

denisd_31, they are both beautiful! Did the green flower eventually change in colour?

I just hope it's not a virus... you may want to keep it isolated as much as possible and put one or two healthy violets together with it for a while to see if it spreads!

Glad to hear from you again stefan :-)

Well, I would have never thought I'll be so much in love with virus one day !! Thanks to violets ;-) Don't tell my mum, she's gonna worry for nothing, as usual lol.
As I've seen Nathalie having a close look at that parma (violet festival in Toulouse)and commenting, I can confirm that one is strange :-) Even the foliage is odd: it has little lieves (like a pansy) at the biginning of the stems.

You have a precious extraterrestrial plant in your hand Denis: be careful ;-) By the way, it is still flowering that way ? Keep us inform please :-) Or "tu nous tiens au jus Denis et tu la surveilles celle-là ! Elle fleurit encore de la sorte ou bien ?"

All the best :-)
Thierry.
