violet collection

Only one is blooming now- 'Bob Serbin'- and it sure is eye-catching.
Some closeups
It looks like 'Frosted Brandy' will be next- forming a bud.
I wasn't too fond of its droopy habit before- but it's looking nicer now.
My favorite is still the slightly petite 'Crackerjack Red'.
These two- another 'Bob Serbin' and one 'Lavender Magic' have longer petioles and stand more upright. I thought they needed more light but even moving them around hasn't changed the growth habit. They also both have multiple crowns forming faster than the others.
Little 'Royal Rage' is getting slightly larger
The newest one- 'Lady in Red' has some tiny leaves now.
Here's my oldest one, the unnamed purple- its leaves seem smaller lately.
And I still have nine leaf cuttings under glass. They're almost a year old now. Surprised more haven't just rotted. I'd give up on them, except for that sansevieria that showed me how long a cutting can wait for the right conditions to grow.
