My favorite species violet!

This little violet grows very symmetrical in both natural or light stand situations Frequently blooms sweet, little purple flowers and has distinctive leaves boosting a hairy surface on top. Always the plant my eyes go to when I am near my violet stand!

The Dream Species Violet

It doesn't have the flashier blooms of a hybrid, but it is a cute and sweet plant--it is also so much more tolerant of a bit of neglect than some of my others.

I love the leaves!

This is turning out to be one of my favorite species plants. I thought species would be easier to grow, but several have not done well for me. (I think I may give them too much light, like I do my hybrids.) This one has done well for me. It blooms almost all the time. The dark green leaves are very pretty. I've started several new plants and one is in a corner where it doesn't get as much light, but it seems to be thriving, getting bigger and blooming!

Lovely Leaves

The photo doesn't do it justice.

My favorite species violet

This plant is absolutely stunning. The leaves are velvety on top with a really unique appearance, and turn blood red when the light shines through them. Completely unique and completely beautiful. It does seems to be a rather small grower and the flowers are rather small but the foliage is out of this world and like nothing else!
