Can anyone sell me seed for the above violets or download photographs of same. Any other comments on these varieties? I was reading about them and thought they would be super.Countess of Shaftsbury is another. I particular like the idea of semi/double hardy violets.

Actually D'Udine is double and is a parma. You might have understand it is semidouble because it is rightly "so double" that the center of the flower never opens and the petals are not colored...

Here is a list of link to pictures of semi doubles and d'udine...

Do you know that Cyclope was raised in France but was lost for ages and that it came back in europe after a stay in australia!?
You might easily find those varieties down under at Rob's. They don't make seeds or so few!
