Karin,

There's no D. Darling in First Class and it does look like D. Darrel.

Linda

My thought is that English is not their first language. You may be lucky on the Russians there. Looks like D. Darryl to me also.

I have Little Optimara "I have No Idea" and it is pink too. (I'm hoping to id it as it blooms and grows out a little.)

Diana

Thanks, that was my impression also.
Their little ihavenoidea looks different from mine, so it may be rose quartz as I am pretty sure I have coral...
Well, I wrote to her and asked for a list, she hasn't got back to me yet.
Not sure on the Russians, I know they are the hot item these days, but I like the less ruffly violets myself... I might get them to use for trades, but seen as I am running out of space, i am not sure if I want to be growing plants just for "currency"...

Karin

I would just like to point something out, humor me here "Seen as I am running out of space" the phrase is actually "'seeing' as" (I am running out of space). For reference purposes only, of course. I have found when one is perusing the internet, correct usage and actual usage are not always the same thing.

It can be readily seen that I have run out of space ;). However, I've been looking at Russians and there are certainly a lot of them. I looked at the AVSE photos, eBay, and I think Lyon's has been doing crosses with them too. I only ever grew one but now I have a few leaves. It just seems like people want them or at least some of them. Some of them look awfully pretty but that's the way with most anything and the right photo.

Those blossoms do look more like O. Little Rose Quartz. It's hard to tell about the leaves. I grew it at one time but don't remember it that well. I'd take that Millennia if she still has it. It looks like my old one which was very nice on a good day.
