I grew this viola from SRGC seed as Viola dubyana.  I think it looks more like V. corsica or a hybrid.  I had a white version of V. dubyana from Ardfearn nursery many years ago but it died without setting seed and I've been looking for it ever since.  I have tried to get the blue one from seed a few times before but have usually got something nearer corsica.

I had the one below as V. grisebachiii which it isn't then someone said it was V. dubyana but now I think (from an AGS picture) it's probably V. altaiaca. It's pretty but I almost wish it had died without setting seed too.

Must change the file name.

Roma, I don't know which Silene it is. I got  seeds of it too, but still not able to identify it.
Because I grow Silene armeria, I know your picture is not Silene armeria.
