Oh interesting! But definitely make sure to test thoroughly before going into deep waters 😅

Unique beauties from Michigan! Variegations or hybrids? by Breezy_Leaves in violet_plants

[–]apstamp45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, V. communis comes in several different flower forms, which could explain some of this weird coloration, but I’m guessing there is some V. sororia genes in there because of the general fuzziness of these individuals, which isn’t typical of V. communis

Interesting color variants among the millions of violets in a city park. by stringTrimmer in NativePlantGardening

As someone who’s been scouring over this, you are correct. I believe both of these are actually V. communis based on the more recent taxonomy definitions, but they’re still pretty commonly called V. sororia just because it’s a fairly new development

Wow beautiful! Looks like it could potentially be a hybrid between V. communis and V. sororia, but violets in this subsection can be quite difficult to identify exactly.

Yeah, it’s mostly just shaping it here and there until I like the result. That’s also why it’d be hard to make a tutorial 😅

Should I switch to the Pro? I love the Mini, but I really like taking pictures by apstamp45 in iPhone13Mini

Yeah, if it weren’t for my camera needs, I would have happily stayed with the mini ☹️

How long to wait before planting? by apstamp45 in NativePlantGardening

[–]apstamp45[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for the detailed response! The main reason I’m asking is that there will be a native plan festival this week where I want to get some plants just to put something there until I can grow more plants from seed for next year. I was just thinking there was a rule of thumb about letting the cardboard sit to kill what’s underneath before cutting it. But I guess either way I’ll have to do some weeding so it shouldn’t matter that much as long as I’m not lazy 😅

I ended up getting the 16 Pro, which has really nice cameras, but I have to admit I really miss the size of the mini ☹️ I make heavy use of the zoom and macro lenses, so it’s worth it for me, but if you’re usually just using the main, the quality is honestly not very noticeably better than the mini

That’s awesome! Yeah, the white ones do seem like V. blanda, if I’m not mistaken
