I know you all have heard of dwarf african violet plants, ones that have smaller leaves and dont grow as large but have normal flowers. I just found an african violet being sold with dwarf sized flowers but normal sized leaves! The flowers are smaller than my thumbnail! Any idea what is the cause, could this be a genetic mutation that gave this plant dwarf flowers? Whatever the cause it's the only african violet I have seen with this condition and im wondering how valuable it would be as far as if it is cross bred with dwarf plants to make both dwarf leaves and flowers, a truly mini african violet.
