Lovely variegation on a cast iron plant. The fantasy is quite interesting. I am with Aegis - it is worth trying.

Kaye Hajner's hybrids are gorgeous. This one is a winner.

Another photo ...

Very nice. I noticed Selective Gardener is offering "Paris." It is one I wanted in the past but have not grown. Joanne

Interesting that you mention "Paris". I've gotten it twice ... and it has slowly died on me both times. I've got leaves down now.

We'll see ...

Thanks for the update. That helped me decide against ordering it. For me, Cora was one I could not keep. Or else, it turned all white. It was one of the touchiest AVs I ever grew.

While well grown and blooming Rhapsodie Cora is a sight to see - I decided it is NOT for me. My bitch with it - the rosette is rarely good, it blooms in flushes... 2 flushes per year - not enough, blossoms sport into purple or to white.

I am thinking it probably depends on the line. I tried it 3 times - got it from Home Depot each time - every time it disappointed me. I think if you attend a violet show and see a super good one - bum the grower for a leaf - it will be a good start.

I love R. Cora! She has been one of my favorites for years. I don't have too much trouble with her. When she blooms for me I just marvel at the beautiful flowers! Not a bad rosette either! Rosie

Woo-Hoo! You got the Good One!

lol Thanks Irina! I must have! Rosie
