Back to botany, instead of insulting each other in Latin. I understand the best
language for hurling insults is actually Arabic.

Remember I inquired about persuading my Viola verecunda var. yakusimana (the
world's smallest violet) to produce chasmogamous flowers? It annoys me by
grinding out those little cleistogamous balls all summer. It is not the easiest
plant to raise, as it prefers cool temperatures, but is not frost hardy. It was
doing fine under lights for the winter, but at 18-hour daylength, it continued
to produce cleistogamous flowers by the dozen. Finally I put it on the
windowsill in the unheated guest room, where it gets cooler temperatures and
mostly natural daylength. It is now in bloom, although the flowers are smaller
than it produces outdoors in the spring.
