Hi, I don't have any of the varieties you are looking for. But if you have any plants that still need home I would be more than happy to adopt them. I lost the majority of my AVs a few years ago while undergoing chemo/radiation/surgery. Could barely take care of myself and my husband had his hands full.

woodsidetrader if you like normal size plants I have some leaves you can have. Click on my name above my message and "follow" me so we can private message about the leaves! Rosie

I would love your gleeful elf! Let me look through what small varieties I have and get back to you.... I had gleeful elf and added leaves to a few round robins and lost it to rot after I did that! ;(

Hi, debbya-gw. Thank you very much for your interest. My Gleeful Elf, I don’t think, is a Gleeful Elf. It’s based on the label provided by the vendor. It heavily blooms but in double bright pink. It is a very lovely cheerful non-stop bloomer. Plants cannot take responsibility even if they are mislabeled, plus, I have not yet found her name. I do not mean to punch your dream bubble, but if you still want to adopt it, I have a small plant for you. In fact, I would keep a couple leaves from the last plant of this variety. This is the kind of plant that will linger in mini lovers’ nurseries. I also have other plants you may be interested in. Please let me know.

I wanted a true blooming 'Gleeful Elf' thanks for explaining that it's not blooming true. :) It's always possible that it sported, not just mis-labeled. Violets sport for different reasons, stress- heat, cold. Or just genetics, might of came from unstable parent plant varieties, that tend to sport. I've read that leaves that have red backs tend to sport more, but not really sure if there is actual backup for the theory.
