I am fairly new to AV and this forum..I have had african violets in my house for years, but they were just the regular noid varieties from HD and Lowes..so last week I took the leap and order some named ones..I recieved the plants on Wed..I was super excited until I opened the box and noticed that they all looked like they froze, all the AV are translucent looking ..leaves drooping and super discolored..Did I just order them at the wrong time of year..I chose to mail them priority mail 2-3 day..was it that..and what do you guys suggest I do now..I have over $70..of African Violets that I'm just gonna get fustrated looking at and throw in the trash..very sad...thanks in advance
