More Richter's Blooms

At long last my newest Richter's violets are blooming! The plants are still babies and are in need of transplanting. Soon I will disbud them, pot them up, and let them grow up. It's really nice to see the blooms, though! I am still waiting for Bambino to open.


My babies lined up


Richter's Pearly Shells (1607) 03/30/1966 (F. Richter) Double medium pink. Ovate, quilted. Large (I accidentally snapped the flower off while trying to maneuver it into a better position, so I just propped it up)
