In 2008, Repkina created the most beautiful variety Zhar-Ptitsa, firmly standing in a number of well-known zest from the master, steadily delighting not only connoisseurs of this species of plants, but also other people who are not related to floriculture.

Sultry summer

Large and bright flowers, coral-salmon tone with slightly elongated petals. The flowers themselves are simple and terry type, similar to bells. Their pink-peach gamut is perfectly shaded by the leaves of the rosette, represented by simple forms of a dark-dense green hue. The leaves are large in size, and the rosette is formed into a perfect halo around a delicate bouquet. A sort of mini-bed, with the number of flowers from nine to twelve. As the violet grows, it enlarges the size of the flowers and increases their multiplicity.

The outlet itself is densely dark green in color, and the inside of the foliage is reddish in color. The size of the violet is standard.

Angel heart

Simple star-shaped forms of whitish flowers are surrounded by a rosette of soft greens, with a serrated type border on the edges of the leaves. The petals are slightly elongated and look like slightly corrugated paper. Delicate delicate pink prints are distributed throughout the body of the petal.

There is such a peculiarity that in a hot room pink prints are obtained in a more saturated color, and in coolness the flowers remain fresh longer.

In general, the outlet is stably and independently created during the growth of this violet, but it happens that the variety deteriorates a little and the petioles are longer than normal. Flowers up to six centimeters in diameter are pleased with long and abundant flowering, about a month. Florists say that these violets love to pull the "arms up." The stalks themselves are quite strong.

Elixir of Beauty

Star-shaped white flowers with peach-prints and a dense outline along the edge of each petal, a corrugated type, are framed by an aesthetic outlet. Variegated coloring of leaves with green, white and pink veins, beautifully combined with a bouquet of snow-white flowers. The leaves are slightly bent inwards. The violet comes in a standard size, but perhaps the outlet is large, although very neat.

The ruff-like edges of the petals and the variety of shades of flowers on one plant, from light pink to more saturated shades and elusive pink, create a wonderful image of violets. Large flowers, like a cloud, give the impression of airiness. The flower stalk gives from three to five buds. Violet growth rate is high, and flowering is frequent, flower stalks are quite durable. Likes to live on window sills, sometimes sporting with snow-white flowering, but this is not a drawback. This option also has its own beauty.

Refined taste

Large eight-centimeter snow-white flowers with delicate peach watercolors-prints. They are framed by a neat rosette of the usual size, about thirty centimeters in diameter, with light green leaves. The variety is distinguished by strong peduncles. The duration of flowering pleases - almost a month and a half. The flowering periods themselves also differ in frequency, as a result, on the windowsill there is an almost continuously white-peach cloud of beauty.

In summer, the flowering tone can go pink, and by winter it becomes snow-white again.

The size of the flowers throughout the growth is stable. A large number and large size create a unique luxurious bouquet. Flowers are both simple type and double, with recesses, wavy. The bouquet itself is asymmetrical, but assembled in one bundle, so that it is perceived as a snow cap. The lack of excessively long peduncles, but due to strong stems, the flowers do not fall, but slightly slope, which even adds originality to this variety.

It reproduces well, no difficulties, unpretentious, the leaves are generous with the abundance of children. Features of the variety are stable in the next generations, without any problems transmitted through cuttings. After planting, this type of violets blooms in the last quarter of the year.

Georgette

Huge simple flowers of a saturated violet tone with brightened terry fringe edges are framed by a dark green rosette with large rigid leaves with fiber veins in the form of a special relief. The outlet itself is small, the cuttings have a bad habit of going up, the leaves of the outlet seem to be curly and randomly spread out. But the sheet is bent almost vertically, which compensates for the negative points, smooths out the flaw.

Large flower stars are compared with the color of grapes. They represent a range from lilac to lilac tones with dimming and lightening. The variety is very generous in flowering both in terms of quantity and in terms of duration. In the first color it gives simple stars without quilling, and then it starts to beautifully frizz. Flower stalks are durable, the bouquet usually falls apart.

Golden Dragon

More than seven centimeters in diameter, whitewashed flowers with lemon flashes of watercolor on the body of the petals are framed by a large rosette. Its leaves are clumsy inaccurately, the size of the sheet is somewhere with a small coffee plate. Petioles are excessively elongated and reach up. The leaf of the outlet has a wavy surface, in shade it is green of medium saturation. For such an instance, you need to free up a lot of space.

In the first years of life, the plant is most aesthetically pleasing, but then the petioles become fragile, and the foliage becomes stiff, the rosette begins to gain thickness, becomes fleshy.

Over time, the violet forms a trunk and therefore this type requires a regular rejuvenation procedure.

Semi-terry and terry edges of large snow-white flowers with lemon strokes streaked from the center, sometimes reaching nine centimeters, create a magnificent bouquet. Lemon watercolors appear immediately, yellow stably pleases throughout the life of the plant. In other varieties, unfortunately, with the age of the flower, lemon tones can deteriorate and give ugly brownish stains instead of delicate yellow. This is a great advantage of this varietal violet. The largest flowers are born in the second flowering.

Reproduction is not easy, as the growth of the children is quite slow. If you minimize lighting, the outlet stacks the leaves vertically and greatly lengthens in the petioles.

Precision strike

The exciting, almost double, edges of white petals, decorated with dimming-prints of violet color, with ink blurry borders create a clear picture of the bouquet. The flowers themselves are large, reaching a five-centimeter diameter. Petals are smoothly highlighted to the endings. The bouquet is framed by wavy boat-shaped leaves of a rosette with mottling white-green streaks-veins.

A medium sized socket, rather neat. The size of the violet is standard. In each flowering, it gives a variety of shades and geometry of the veins of the bouquet.

This variety is particularly responsive to temperature, changing color depending on this factor to an almost white tone. Peduncles, although they grow quite harmoniously, are fragile and puff around.

Windowsills are not favored, likes to dwell on shelves.

Green lagoon

Large white flowers with a white tone are decorated with blue watercolors, stains, and the outer petals go into a slightly green hue. The foliage of the outlet has a light green color, the surface of the sheet is worried. Violet standard size. A feature of the variety that is not amenable to adjustment is a stubborn rosette that pulls "arms up" regardless of the light and habitat.

The flowers look like small roses with green and blue edging. In the heat, the violet gives a small dosage of greenery on white, and the blue tone, on the contrary, enhances. It takes a lot of time for buds to open up, about 14 days. Not all flowers bloom, unfortunately, there are those that dry and fall. The primrose of the variety is usually large, and then decreases. Flower stalks are slightly longer than normal and with dense weighty flowers and a flat-type rosette fall ugly on their sides. If the outlet is assembled up, then the bouquet is kept very neat.

Flowering is infrequent, five per outlet. Since the flowers themselves are large, this amount is enough to create an effective volume. It is only a pity that the violet is susceptible to the defeat of the flowers in a brown tone in the middle, and the buds do not have time to fully expand the petals, withering and falling even before full disclosure. Differs in slow growth, the primrose gives a year and a half after planting. As flowers grow darker, regular rejuvenation is required to avoid dark lilac sport.

Enchantment

Huge semi-double and double-type flowers, white with gustolivym prints in the border, are framed by a standard type with a rosette with large decaying foliage. A very light-dependent flower, it turns into something when there is a lack of illumination, and with too much light, it also deteriorates, the buds begin to stray into ugly bunches.
