Violas 2017

[Hoy]

Very nice, Robert!

The last one is certainly not rupestris which has very small leaves when in flower. The colour is also different:




Most likely canina.

[Robert]

Trond,

Tusan takk! Yes, the Viola looks very much like V. canina. It is a tiny little plant but seems very happy here. I have some in containers and others in the ground. They have all grown well and some have many flowers at this time. It is a keeper for me!

Viola jooi

[David Nicholson]

Very pretty Roma.

[Matt T]

Gorgeous wee Viola. V. jooi native to Romania I believe?  As we've noted before, not dissimilar to the V. hancockii I showed earlier, which comes from China.

Viola jooi is almost a weed (selfseedling) !

Yes Matt, it is found in some regions of Carpathian Mts., but I think it was reported found in SW Serbia as well.
It really needs to like the place to become so 'weedy' like shown in the picture; I wouldn't mind it at all actually

Gerd,

A very beautiful set of Violas! 

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Robert, you are welcome!

While "just" a Viola hybrid bought from a garden centre, the F1 hybrid Viola 'Honey Bee' is the most marvellous colour; well, to me anyway!

Viola capillaris just gets better each week. I have a number of seedlings and some will go into the open garden. If they indeed get a meter tall in our garden they will be very striking! If they bloom all summer even better.
