Need help ID plants!

9 years ago

Hello, I recently got some blooms on some of my plants and they look different than the description, can anyone ID them correctly or help me confirm them, thanks!!

1) RS-Romantyczność (Repkina) Very large, double and semi-double, wavy, white flowers with dark purple and greenish fringe around the edge of the petals.

My flower looks like this:

2) Garnet Elf: (Eyerdom) Single dark rose-lavender/wide white frilled edge. Ruffled. Standard. Does this look dark rose lavender?

3) Tea's Blueberry Butterfly (J. Baker/S. Gallela) Semidouble-double blue wavy star/ yellow to white mottled. Dark green, quilted, wavy, serrated/red back. Standard.

My flower doesnt look double, but single...the colors seem to match.

4) Tropical Heat Wave (K. Stork) Single-semidouble dark coral-rose large frilled star. Dark green, wavy. Standard.

My flower, is the same color, but doesnt seem frilled has white patches.

Any help appreciated. I really waited a long time for the first blooms to appear and now I am wondering whether I have the right variety or not. I guess thats always a risk when growing from leaf.

thanks!

Cooks.

Hi there - they all look very pretty.

RS-Romantika (S.Repkina) - thats a correct spelling - should be thimbprint and double. Wait for the next cycle of bloom. Sometimes the thumbprint expresses itself this way. But RS varieties can sport as well.

Garnet Elf - it is not it - Elf has a white geneva edge - this is inversed. Generally it looks as one of Eyerdom hybrids - probably a sport. Very pretty.

Tea's Bluberry Butterfly - looks like it - but wait for another bloom. Mixed with yellow hybrids - especially the ones that have Ness Fantasy Gold in parentage - who knows what this one has - often come with asymmetrical flowers.

Tropical Heat Wave. It is NOT it. It even looks semi-mini.

Garnet Elf was one of my first violets, so many years ago I can't remember. It didn't have any white on it at all.

A lot of Eyerdom's violets are highly collectible gems worth the effort of reacquring and giving them a good growing space. Not all. As usually - if the hybridizers churn out a bunch... some of them are not that different from their litter mates. I looked it up - and at first I thought - it is pretty close to the Firebird-2.. but on the second look - the foliage looks much better.
