    Okay, I will give names, but no prices (or you will all start kicking, screaming and throwing things).

    Front 1st row: Rob's Humpty Doo, Jolly Mischief, Honey Blue Ace

    2nd row: Classic Rock, Definitely Darryl, Blue Halo

    3rd row: Jolly Fairy, Jolly Dear, Cajun's Ooh La La, Cajun's Lil Love

    4th row: Rob's Dust Storm, Jersey Rose Trail, Rob's Outer Orbit

    On right in 4" pot: Harmony's News Flash

    Lucille, they look so nice since the nursery is local and the plants don't get mishandled in transport.

    Shown are 2 standards and the rest are semis and 1 mini...

    Do I have room for them you ask? Ha. The table they're on is their 'room', and that's it. I have threatened to send them each away as gifts should they be so bold as to grow on me. (jk - hoping to make at least 1 dish garden for show. Something might bloom in a couple of weeks...)

    I tried Harmony's News Flash a couple times. Mine didn't make it ...

    Hope to have better luck since I'm in the same region as where they're grown.

    Those are gorgeous, healthy plants! How wonderful it must be to have local growers nearby... although it must be a struggle not to bring home every one!

    Ohhhhhh my! What a nice selection! I am sooooo envious that you have a source locally for violets beside the big box stores that I have! (Lowe's and Meijer) Oh you are killing me!

    And do I dare say that I see actual NAMES on those tags???? WOW!! Thank goodness for THAT company! Hope they don't get too big to eliminate NAMES ON TAGS!!! Rosie

    Err, dviolet, I think I have room (lol, at least till house plants return from summer vacation outside)

    Joanne, here's my temporary setup until I can get a proper plastic tray for them. Not sure what else I can do for the low light situation: I raised both the 4" plant and the semis up higher to the CFL floor lamp. I have a clip-on 'purple' grow light on semis. No room for another desk lamp on that table and besides, that would look weirder than it already does in that corner.

    I'm trying to adjust the violets' space to my existing living areas withOut having to get rid to furniture to make room for a plant stand. DH is pretty tolerant right now but he has his limits, lol.

    Yes! It was hard making a decision about which to get -- so many, many varieties were there to choose from!
