Mine is in a pot and I bought it from Christian about ten years ago. It flowered for the first time last year after I had made an effort and given it a hot dry summer rest. It was a miserable thing and I wondered why I had bothered.Just wish it had looked like Franz's

+ Viola alba from the Pontus/Turkey and Viola sempervirens,
the last one is Anemone caucasica

Very nice Violas Gerd - smashing Anemone as well !

Too bad for the Tecophilea Derek - it must have looked very good !

Here's some from me :

A small trough getting the Spring fever with Hepatica nobilis and the remainders of Crocus corsicus

and some early season colours featuring Saxifraga ferdinandi coburgi var. rhodopea - Tulipa pulchella violacea and some Cyclamen coum seedlings.

Super colour this Corydalis Gerd, and of course these blue Viola.
But on Viola you are the specialist, isn't it?
Thank you for those pics.

More treats, John. I don't even know Daphne papyracae !
The Garrya reminds me of a very good specimen our old friend and neighbour had.... sadly it was bulldozed when her house and garden were redeveloped :'( :'(

Luit, can  you mean the article  'Rosettenbildende Viola-Arten aus den Anden' ?
That would be about the rosulate violas of the Andes, I  believe?  8) Certainly a subject for experts!

Ashley, those leaf variations of Cyclamen hederifolium are wonderful, all so different. What a delight these cyclamen are and they bring such a long period of interest to the garden.
