Oct 2, 2011.  

There is much development yet for this blossom but it's the first time I've come even close to capturing the correct color for this one. There are more to come as there are LOTS of buds coming up right now !

This photo shows the depth of the blossom a little better.

The blossom is starting to cup more.  

Sparkles!

Simpler Times?

Simpler Times?, a photo by kenyapurrz4me on Flickr.

This plant was in bloom when I purchased it but these blooms don't look like what they're supposed to be now. This photo without flash.

This photo is with the flash and shows the color better than without.


Again, with the flash.


And without the flash and a better view of the entire violet. It's rather unruly right now but it's taken me a little while to figure out what light it likes to even get it to bloom again. Maybe it still needs some more changes?
