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.
