Kathy Ann,
I will be looking for that one. Thanks,
Patti
What's blooming and growing...
I've seen it on there quite often from other sellers also. They all look so different when their young plants. I have tiger and Ann and grape slush, Picasso, pow wow. All are very heavily variegated av's. absolutely stunning when they r grown ups. :)
I don't have it,but Celina Dark Velvet is another stunner.
Lynn
I looked it up, it is georgious!!
I thought I would add a couple more photos of flowering AVs. We have EverBeautiful (one of the space babies) and Playful Spectrum.
Earle

2. Tiger (first time blooming)
3. Tomahauk
4. Buckeye Galactic Shower, with lots of large blooms.

Lovely Earle!! I've seen that ever beautiful on ebay, it's a looker!!! Now Newtown quiet resolve i've tried to get my hand on a few times from bluemountainviolets, and lost the bid, it always goes high $$ Love that one!!

Kathy Ann, I really like the AV's with the pink variegation in the leaves, Yours are very nice varieties.
Earl, nice Everbeautiful. Mine has yet to bloom for the first time; can't wait.
Chiqui
Drooling on my keyboard!
Lynn
Thanks chiqui! I love those pink ones too
Awesome pictures everyone,The av's so pretty,thanks for posting .
Jan
Very nice AVs Earle, Chiqui, and Kathy Ann!
I only have two blooming now. Most of my violets are still babies, not old enough to bloom. I get so impatient.
Here's Bell's Daydream sport. And the second one is Silverglade Fanfares.
Very nice Eileen!
Wonderful blooming season and great pictures! So glad to see a blooming Playful Spectrum, I have a mystery plant that blooms just like PS but.... the leaves have red reverse, which is totally non-PS. Any ideas anybody?
Another picture of Playful Spectrum in question and my sweet Snow Jewel
Love Snow Jewel.I have seen the one that looks like Playful Spectrum.but right now can't think of the name.Maybe it will come to me.
Lynn
Those are beauties!
I love fantasy blooms, even in AVs!
Thank you ladies, those blooms are large and numerous too! Here is another great bloomer, Sinn. Gabriel's Horn Sport
Love the blooms of Snow Jewel !!! Really pretty full bloom in fantasy colors !!! Also that Sinningia is looking rather pretty. I still can't grow them to save my life. Only have one left.
Wow Maria! Your Sinn. GH sport is gorgeous!
I was just asking on the Gesneriphiles if anyone knew where to find it.
I love the colors of the sport!
Karen
Maria, love your Snow Jewel and that sinn. isn't looking bad either. Nice growing.
Chiqui
Thank you my friends. The sinningia came from Dave's Violets, truly a sinningia heaven. Not only the selection is incredible, the plants he sends are very nice, in bud or started blooming very soon. Although many plants are sold out very early but there are still so many beauties to splurge on. I'm thinking about coming back in the near future. Here is Scentimental Journey, a terrific bloomer
Beautiful Maria! Yes,David is a great vendor and a really nice guy.
Lynn
That's a beautiful sinningia!
This plant followed me home yesterday. She reminded me of nothing but Tiger, same variegation, ruffled dark violet flowers. And red reverse.... Are there any chances she's what I think?
I have no idea how folks can I'd av's. my tiger could look alot diff from this one. In fact , mine has quite a bit of pink in the leaves. Sure is pretty!
Yes, it's almost impossible to ID violets. But I thought there weren't many like Tiger. It does have pink, probably the light setting makes it paler. Does yours have red back?
I've got a couple of African violets budding but what I'm really excited about is my first Episcia blooming. The bloom belongs to Episcia Silver Dust.
Didn't let me post the other photo. Lets try again.
Nice job Roly!
Beautiful AV Maria!
Nice job Roly! Very pretty!
Karen
They are red underneath. First one is tiger. I have a few Av's that are wilting, i'm a little worried about them, I might have put intoo much fertilizer into the water, their moist but not real wet,
1 is tiger
2 is jungle print, cool looking flowers, has two diff kinds on there.
3 is witch doctor
4 frozen in time
This is the guy I got my tiger from, he's bluemountainviolets on ebay. and this is one of his mother plants. it's quite different from mine. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=tiger+african+violet&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&tbo=d&biw=1366&bih=585&tbm=isch&tbnid=85bY8_kT6j85SM:&imgrefurl=http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/afrviolet/msg0422300417556.html&docid=QUKCH6IFjJ7sxM&imgurl=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3149/2643639162_526534d02c.jpg&w=284&h=334&ei=e9AJUfD_JYbVqgHFo4HABQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=954&vpy=52&dur=260&hovh=244&hovw=207&tx=129&ty=121&sig=116143719170211324648&page=1&tbnh=147&tbnw=134&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0,i:99
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a picture! unbelievable. Thanks for posting it!
Your violets look gorgeous, Kathy Ann. Jungle Print is so cool. The Tiger picture looks very similar to my plant as far as I can tell. Let's see it when older
Beautiful kathy_ann!
Hello everyone. I'm new to the group and grow plumeria & brugmansia. But, catching the AV bug. Where can I find some of the variegated violets posted here?
Lonnie
Welcome Lonnie,there's plenty of vendors to buy from ,there listed in the sticky at the top of this forum,but winter shipping is pricey.then there's ebay,then there's local av clubs that has there sales and there plenty in Texas.Maybe there's one in your area.Are you anywhere near the Norne(sp?) area.A friend told me there's a nursery there that sells av.s

Forgot to mention swapping with other members on the forum.That's always fun.I believe there's a few members that have the Brug bug.There trade lists are posted at the top of the forum also.
