Is this violet sick?

Hi! Here is a photo of my Violette de Toulouse. It has brown spots on some leaves which are not old leaves, and some leaf curl with suspicious grey spots and dry texture. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it? I will be very grateful... Thank you!

Chère Michele

Can't say it is sick..This happens generally at the turn of the season and when there is direct sun on the foliage...Now that your violet is outdoor does it go on? It usually stops...Simply take of the brown leaves...
Keep us informed
Cheers

Nathalie, thank you very much for your help. I had sprayed a little bit of neem oil on it (not in bright sunlight) to keep the caterpillar-producing moths off and was wondering if that had caused a problem. There were a few spots on some of the larger leaves. I am glad it looks fine. Yes, we are beginning to get more sun now. This year there has been a great deal of rain in San Diego, but finally the sun is showing itself more and more! I'll pick off the leaves with the brown beauty marks....

Salut !

neem oil !! Stop putting that parme on torture ;-) I can here it from here with its little voice: "no no don't do it" LOL You've got a kind of survivor I guess - Just kidding, I'll never tell U what I've done wrong :ppp
Viola is a rustic plant, not a houseplant: let it be :-)
What about the runners (stolons)? Your parme should make babies...will you be a happy grand ma' ? :-)

Take care 'n' don't stop smiling :-)
XXXXX
Thierry.

Made such a big mistake, I'm brainless: I'd better shup up, definitively :-(
