I love african violets and have many. However I know nothing about them. ( Except that I need to water them from the bottom and not get the leaves wet. My grandmother taught me that. ) All of mine are no names. I pick them up here and there, where ever I see one I like. I do have a question. I had a white one that started to grow many plants in one pot so I divided them up and put them in seperate pots. I ended up with 4 plants. However, instead of blooming white, they all bloomed purple. Why is that? Any idea's? Thanks. Here is a picture of some of mine.
