violets and violets

Among the cups of violet leaf cuttings, I have been watching a wedge of dirt pushing up against an outer edge, for a whole week. Finally yesterday it emerged- tiny leaves of 'paprika'
Looks like it's starting off with two crowns!
Upstairs the mini one had a setback- its leaves withered. I think the adjustment was too rapid, so I covered it with plastic again. Trimmed off the dying leaves and a new one is sprouting again, so maybe it will be okay.
Next in the line of baby violets, my 'vintage lace' is getting a nice set of leaves, though pale.
Two older plants are budding- it will be nice to have flowers here again.
