I received a beautifully variegated leaf yesterday labeled "Tradition"; can anyone tell me anything about it. I can find nothing listed for it. It's the variegated one in the upper left corner.
African violet "Tradition"
I don't know anything about it but it sure is pretty! http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/157726/
Maybe it's an Optimara?
Yep, that's Optimara Tradition that I linked to ... when I googled it's the only one I found with the name Tradition.
Thanks, that's why I couldn't find anything. I didn't even think to check for an Optimara, duh! and the leaves were Optimara and Rhapsodies!! Looks like that would have given me a hint!! I hope I can get a plant with the beautiful variegation this leaf shows!

It does have beautiful foliage!!
You rarely see the varigated optimara. I went to a gesneriad show/sale in Tenn in September. A guy who is a member of their club works at Holtkamp (is that spelling right?) and brought a few violets for their sale. One was varigated and I bought that. It has pink on the leaves but I don't think it looks that pink but maybe its just the flash when the picture was taken. Its not blooming, so I can't go by that either.
