Blooms in the matrix?

8 years ago

Hey guys, this one violet's blooms are doing something kinda weird. It seems that the innermost petals are sticking to the pollen sacs--so then as the flower opens, the same innermost petals stay stuck to the pollen. On one flower, I think a petal opened a sac (I am absolutely certain there are no signs of thrips or any other pest). One bloom is typical, the others seem to be doing something else. It looks like some of the blooms are having a doubling effect of some kind.

It's a mini trailer that I got from a local garden center a while back. I recently repotted it and haven't been the best with watering lately, but nothing too extreme. The plant is otherwise normal, and my other ones are certainly in their prime (knock on wood).


Typical looking bloom


A fading atypical one


A recent atypical one

(I broke the petal away in this second one)


And finally the whole plant


It's probably nothing, but thanks for your thoughts!
