A violet without identification is called a NOID. There’s nothing wrong with them, but there’s no reliable way to identify them. There are thousands of registered cultivars out there, so one can imagine how easy it would be to get it wrong. So, we simply say that the violet has no identification — NOID.
However — if this violet came from a big box store and if it didn’t come labeled (or if it did), then it could very well be an Optimara-brand violet. Optimara has a [Field Guide](https://www.optimara.info/varieties.htm) which is helpful for identifying /only/ Optimara violets. I looked through various sources but could not find an exact match for this bloom which raises the possibility that it might not be an Optimara at all.
Did the violet come with any labels or branding? A sticker from the grower perhaps? Anything at all?

It’s terrible of me to guess. There are 70k varieties, so it’s only ever going to be a guess.
But. Mine is Rhapsodie Angelica?
