The color of the first one is just wonderful! That's the color of violacea I would like. Great photo of the alba.

Those are both beautiful, Brooke. I especially like the alba, though - what an amazing flower!

The 'alba' is exquisite--can't wait for mine to bloom, but it is still fairly small. How old must the plant be before it puts on a show like yours??

Those are BOTH fantastic in my book - would LOVE to have them both some day!
I noticed the pink one seems to have a couple (latest) wavy leaves - do you know what causes this and if it is a negative or normal? I have a few plants also doing this right now.........
