Re: Violets / troughs


Gene..not Paul, but do know that some have exceptional foliage.  Saw
some with lovely variegated leaves at PVCNARGS plant exchange this
fall - looked almost like Cyclamen leaves.  Unfortunately, having
drawn a high number, they were all snagged before I could get to
them, so the names are not in my cranium...but they do exist.  Might
also do for troughs, tho' I have no knowledge of their wandering
ways.
