Strange things happen when you are not looking.

One spring you get this lovely double colour Violet plant. Pretty white flowers and with patches on the petals.
They bloom, grow nicely and look very happy.
Then they go have their rest without any new flowers growing.

Next time the flowers open they are all blue!
No, I did not confuse the plants. I have them all signed. Eh... At least it is not another white one.
Then again... you never know what will happen next spring :p

I still like it. The colour is nice and nothing like I already have. So it will stay with me. And I just adore the sparkly petals.

In case you didn't know they are super easy to propagate. If one of your friends has one, ask for a leaf, stick it in a light soil on an angle and water gently from time to time. About 2-3 months later you will see babies pop :)
