There are people growing rosulate violets and showing them in AGS
(Alpine garden Society) plant shows, and elsewhere I'm sure. Here are
some quick links I dug up to show some of them. Also be sure to check
out the last link, a whole topic dedicated to rosulate violets with
stunning photos taken in Patagonia 2010.
