Another option would be Optimara Rosalie..... but on the website the description says "Single Ruffle"... but the picture is obviously semi-double ruffled!

If you friend Holtcamp (the individual page not the business) on Facebook you can post to their wall and eventually if they can, they will tell you what your violet is.

I have been sending myviolet.com emails for about two months... I just re-send the same email... and I have yet to hear back from them. I have this one included in the email. I'll keep on emailing until I hear back from them.. cause "the squeeky wheel gets the grease"! :-)

Thanks for the tip about Facebook.. I just don't do facebook. :-)

I've never gotten an email back from them but I've gotten nice replies on Facebook even if it takes a little while.

Hmm. I may have to check that out. What is the link? I have tried to find it before and wasn't able.

https://www.facebook.com/optimara.violets

There's also this one but I've never tried it

The second link is one set up specifically for identification and they say they will also help with growing. I"d recommend you try asking there. I only joined FB to look at Optimara's photos although I think they've changed that some now. MyViolet is more for posting your photos and getting notifications of shipments I believe. It also helps you id your own at times.

I like the first one better because you get an answer directly from Optimara. I don't really see the point in trying to figure out anything other than Optimaras because it'll never be anything more than a guess. There's just too many varieties out there except for the odd, exceptional one.

Su that is a beautiful flower!!! Rosie
