Default Why don't my violets flower?

I've got a largish collection of violet species and all are doing very
well at the moment: lots of growth, runners spreading etc. However,
there are not many flowers! I've got the violets in a position where
they get morning sun and dappled afternoon shade. The ones I
transplanted into full sun just turned up their toes. Can anyone suggest
a reason for the lack of flowers?

PS. Occasionally, I'll find a swollen seed pod as if a flower had
occurred *some*where, but the little devils are managing to hide from me
if that's the case. I can't find 'em!
