Lovely combination Moti - that Viola bottom left looks like an exotic butterfly. :-)

I love Violas Muddy...These flowered last Summer and here they are again, flowering since early Spring...:>)

There's one Viola I just cannot resist Moti although I've lost her twice - 'Irish Molly'. Her velvety brown and lime green petals are just irresistible. I know if I see her again (RHS Tatton Park probably) I will have to have her! Mind you, I haven't tried her in this garden, so maybe this situation will be more to her liking.
I'm smitten just thinking about her . . . lol! :-))

Oh she sounds lovely Muddy...i shall have a look for seed....I was looking on the plantagogo website...£3 for a 9cm plant...its the postage that poses the problem, isnt it?....A beautiful Viola Muddy....

I know what you mean Moti, when you want one plant in particular and the postage is almost (or more than!) the plant itself, your faced with the dilemma - should I choose more plants to add to the order or do I wait until I see the plant when I visit somewhere? Decisions, decisions . . .lol!

At least you have a chance of finding a certain plant Muddy...I live out in the sticks and there is very little available...I've never seen a Penstemon in any garden centre here or a Heuchera, other than 'palace purple'....I send off for most things....:>)

The internet is certainly a very useful tool. :-)

The rose is beautiful - does it have a name, Moti?
