AV babies are here II & AV baby losses

  ~Now featuring: antique post draft, relic from mid-June 2016.~  


Batch II of AV babies has arrived! They come from the excellent Polish site http://africanviolets.pl and arrived in a flash, packed extremely gently in a 30 x 30 x 30 cm styrofoam box, padded with airbags. My only complaint is that both 'Uluru' leaves arrived with translucent (pre-rotting/lightly crushed) spots at the base of the blade, and neither stood a chance to root in my hands. Perhaps they could have been saved with more experienced care.

ATTN: Following descriptions are not official and include my additions and alterations.

1. 'Mac's Walkabout Uluru'  — Single-semidouble pink pansy. Crown variegated medium green, white, and pink, clackamas. Miniature. (G. MacDonald, #10515)
2. 'Senk's Say What'  — Single purple superwasp. Variegated medium green, deeply scalloped diva foliage. Semiminiature trailer. (D. Follett/R. Senk, #9866)
3. 'Jolly Mel'  — Single-semidouble dark purple pansy. Crown variegated medium green and gold. Semiminiature. (H. Pittman, #9866)
