Rob,

The pollen parent is an older violacea coerulea I first showed on my website
over four years ago:

Compared to violacea var murtoniana and violacea bellinia the flowers of
these two coerulea parents are indeed slightly smaller... they are violacea
var bowringiana plants and produce a smaller flower with nearly equal length
sepals and petals. The color in the pod parent is a little better
distributed over the entire flower and that is a big plus factor.
