    No, as all sororia it's not scented at all, but, well...it's such a beauty :-)

    Another pic, riviniana purpurea :-)
    Enjoy !

    All the best.

    What a beauty, and with reddish leaves as well? Is that their normal colour?

    Hi I've got a violet called "Blue Diamon", I think is the same as "Dark Freckles", are they synonym? xx

    Yann: if the blooms are the same (you're the only one to know as I've never heard of that blue diamon before), they are synonym :-)
    Yes Joanmary, as you can see, it all a kind of red/brown ! It's just because I give it fresh blood (not mine, children's blood is the best) and sometimes meet ;oP Just kidding ;-)

    Let's post another pic: riviniana, but the one we have here in France, less beautiful, isn't it ?!

    All the best :-)

    For pleasure...for once I do success taking a pic ;o)
    Blooms are a bit different from freckles.

    ENJOY :-)

    Take care.

    Hello thierry,

    on your peppered palm, which form did the foliage look like ?
    It's an hybrid between sororia 'freckles' and palmata and the one i saw before has not so much freckles on its petals.

    Yeah Nathalie: I still have flowers not you :-PPPPP That's my round ;-)
    Denis: the foliage is just the same as palmata. I only have 2 blooms, it was at my mum's home before and didn't like too much the move here.

    I crossed riviniana X riviniana purpurea :-P The pod is really in the good way...suavis X odorata alba too :-) I'm not sure reichenbachiana X odorata alba is going to sucess: the pod is a bit strange...
    It's a pity I don't have odorata's flowers anymore, I can't cross odorata with one of my sororia :-/

    All the best.
    Thierry :-)

    Hello etii,
    I don't understand if your 'peperred palm' is the result of a crossing you made yourself. It seems not to be the same that what i know (or knew) before. If it's your own, it's need a new name to be registred !
    A really good candidate for Portugal contest !!!

    Salut ! :-)

    No, my peppered palm is not my own: Nathalie gave me the seeds a long time ago: good investment I guess ;o)
    I won't be ready for Portugal contest BUT I'll be there :-) Such a long time I'm thinking about visiting that nice corner of the world :-) Hope we'll be able to see that marvellous viola arborescens.
    Cordialement.
