This is the garden for keeping track of all my rooting leaves, suckers, babies, plantlets and not yet fully grown plants. Some may be added to my collection in the future and others may be extras for swap or sale.

Each violet has been given a code for my own identification purposes. In most cases, the code will tell me where I got the violet and in which year.

UPDATE: July 2011 – It has been a challenge to figure out a system to organize and identify these plantings, considering how confusing it can potentially get to have leaves, plants and plantlets all of the same variety but with different dates to be tracked. I think I have it set now. These guidelines are really listed here just for my own reference, or for a reference to someone I might trade with. This may sound like overkill, but I don’t want to have to come back later and try to remember just what I was thinking when I labeled a plant. :)

  • NOID plants will have a 2-letter code for source, i.e. OP for Optimara, LO for Lowes, etc. This code will be followed by 2 digits to identify the year, i.e. 99, 09, 11, etc. Then the last number will be a digit designation for the number of the plant as it was received during the year. So… OP105 is the 5th Optimara plant received in 2010.
  • A named variety plant will be just called by that name, but a code will be given to quickly tell the details at a glance.
  • A leaf for rooting received only as a leaf will be listed as the name or NOID code followed by “LEAF”
  • A leaf taken from a plant I already own for rooting will be created as a child planting from that plant and listed as the name or NOID code followed by “LEAF”
  • A plantlet grown from a leaf will be created as a child planting from that leaf and listed as the same name with a digit designating the sequence in the series of plantlets, i.e. DAD99.1
  • If a LEAF cannot be used again after producing plantlets, it will be archived but the coding sequence, if applicable, will be continued.

SW=SWap; OP=OPtimara brand; LO=LOwe’s; VR=Violet Reflections, the AV group I belong to; CM=a local nursing home that holds an annual plant sale; MP=Miscellaneous Pinched from someone else’s plant; DA=a gift from my DAd; SJ=Share the Joy, a program of the VR group, with my partner Cheryl J. BS=Bay State African Violet Society.

    You’re growing system is much less complicated than what mine was. I am inspired to try again! As soon as my paycheck clears. Ha ha~
