Last summer I received a plant of French Lilac and immediately fell in love with it. It was such a gorgeous plant and I absolutely loved it. My absolute favorite of all of my violets. When I moved in March, I lost my plant and I was heartbroken. There are two strains of the plant... the original has wonderfully wavy leaves and the other has more flat leaves. In my search for a new plant, I was scared that I'd end up with a flat leafed variety...
Last week, I found one on ebay from a seller that I greatly respect. The photo appeared to have wavy leaves, so I bid on it. I bid more than I've bid on any plant because I wanted it that badly and I won! The seller wrote to congratulate me and told me that it was actually just starting to bloom...
She arrived in today's mail and I was blown away by her beauty. Gorgeous wavy leaves, beautiful blooms... I'll take photos of her tomorrow as my light tonight was really crappy. I'm in love though! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
