Sorry, I was thinking of T. violiflora.

> Jane, you’re not confusing Tecophilaea violiflora, which I also grow, with T. cyancocrocus var. violacea, are you? They are two very different plants. The T. c. var. violacea looks and grows exactly like the other two color forms and you can’t tell the difference until they flower. There is a cultivar called ’Storm Cloud’ that is a cross between var. leichtlinii and var. violacea that looks just like var. leichtlinii except that instead of a pale blue edge has a lavender edge. The var. violacea has a purple color every bit as intense as the blue variety. T. violiflora is a much smaller plant with a smaller flower that isn’t as intensely colored as the T. cyanocrocus flowers are and mine are more of a blue-violet color too.
