Fascinating plant!
African violets tend to have hairs on their leaves, this one is as hairs as some caterpillars (that's a good thing). The leaf edges are almost tan at the tips. The most interesting part is the way light shines through the translucent main leaf veins and edges. I love looking at the leaves when my plant lights are behind them! The plant hasn't bloomed yet and it is becoming a favorite. The plant arrived well packed, on the large side, and very healthy.
My favorite species violet!
This little violet grows very symmetrical in both natural or light stand situations Frequently blooms sweet, little purple flowers and has distinctive leaves boosting a hairy surface on top. Always the plant my eyes go to when I am near my violet stand!
The Dream Species Violet
It doesn't have the flashier blooms of a hybrid, but it is a cute and sweet plant--it is also so much more tolerant of a bit of neglect than some of my others.
I love the leaves!
This is turning out to be one of my favorite species plants. I thought species would be easier to grow, but several have not done well for me. (I think I may give them too much light, like I do my hybrids.) This one has done well for me. It blooms almost all the time. The dark green leaves are very pretty. I've started several new plants and one is in a corner where it doesn't get as much light, but it seems to be thriving, getting bigger and blooming!
Lovely Leaves
The photo doesn't do it justice.
