Default My sweet white violet

This is a sweet white violet that I experimented with. I decided to try to grow this one indoors in a semiaquatic setup. I grow it in an aquarium that is filled to about 1-4 inches of water. The plant is in a regular plastic pot, with clayey soil under T5 lights. I had to give this one a three month winter rest in the fridge to get it to bloom again. This is the initial result. Very small flower but very fragrant. This is Viola blanda.

Very nice Tin!

Plants in the fridge, it's nice to know I'm not the only one to go to such extremes.

Cheers.
Jim

Hey Jim,

Are you kidding me, my plants have their own fridge.
