Hello,
I know I haven't posted in a while and I have no excuse for it. Our local show was today but unfortunately I was at a wedding until this afternoon so was unable to exhibit my few plants. I had a nice plant of Looking Glass which I think might have won an award but there is always next year. I did manage to fit some violets into my trip to Maryland. It so happened that the Baltimore AVS was doing their annual plant sale so I stopped by and of course came home with some goodies. The sale was very nice and the member grown and commercial plants were very beautiful. I happened to buy all plants grown by none other than Marie Burns. Her plants were fabulous and inexpensive. The most I paid was $8 for a plant. She brought about 50 plants to sell and made her club some money. I picked up 7 plants because I have too many and normally grow from leaves. I got Bob Serbin, Frozen in Time, Ian Minuet, Arctic Frost, Lucien Croteau, Harbor Blue, and Jolly Coral. The pictures are below for your reference. I had a chance to chat with Marie for a few minutes and we spoke of her earlier hybrids. She said that she has been trying to get her hands on them and it has been a challenge. Many people do not grow them in her nor my area. I told here that I had also been interested in plants especially Party Print and it has been near impossible for me to find it. She said some people in Texas still grow it and that whoever gets a leaf first has to give the other a starter plant of it. So this is my plea for you to put out your feelers and help me find a leaf or plantlet of Part Print. Here are a few pics of the sale as well as the plants I took home with me. Enjoy
