New Acquisition :-D

I picked up this variegated av at Lowes this weekend! I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I've been looking for one for a while and here it is! The variegation is actually pink, but bad picture. You like?

Great Find!
I love it! One of my favorites has the variegation with the pink,white and green. I have one with pink & one with purple flowers.
Here's a growing tip for the variegated AV's, be sure to keep it a little on the cool side and give it a little more light than normal or it might loose it's variegation... I didn't know that and the first one I bought lost it's pretty markings.:(

What color is it's flower?

Flower and leaves both are beautiful .

I love it!!!Thanks for posting. Gave me a lift this morning! I'm going to head to Lowe's this afternoon. I've taken someone's advice and look thru all the av's when I visit a store because I just might find a variegated among 'em. That's a score!!

What a find! I haven't been lucky enough to find one locally yet, but I keep looking!

I just got from a Lowe's store and did not find any jewels. All their violets had brown spots all over the leaves. Oh, well, I have some lovely ones coming from Ebay wins.

Oh, I just love ebay wins.,lol..be sure to post some pics...did you get a variegated one yet ? I have some new ebay wins coming in soon too.

Yes, I got some variegated, some standard trailers, and some large violets. I already have a few of the buckeye variegated violets-just not satisfied and want more. Did you all see the auctions of 4 violets for $5.00. That seemed like a good deal. I got outbid on the ones I wanted tho.

Thank you all for the comments, it is a gorgeous plant. I am so lucky! I always do that susan, look through the av's in every store just in case- this is the first exciting find.

MsC the flower is medium pink. And thank you for that advice, I didnt know that. Wouldn't want to lose those pretty markings!!

Are the ebay auctions for leaves or well developed plants? How well do they travel?

Lowe's- I guess I am going to have someone look for me or take me there. It is pretty.

I saw those Violets 4/5 ... looked like a good deal to me too.lol

So far of my Ebay violets, I've been really satisfied. Of course, I did get a bunch from Barbara, a violet society member and hers were excellent! They were packed really well,too!

oh, I have to tell you all about my experience at Home Depot. I just happened to go over and look at the violets and marked down was this 4 inch pot of variegated violet with only 3 leaves left. It had no price tag on it at all. So when I went to pay for it, the cashier couldn't get anyone to find the price for me, so she said I could have it. It's doing very well now and looking healthier-reminds me of AV "Tiger" if you all are familiar with that one.

Oh wow, now that's a score!! Good work :) I'm not familiar with Tiger though, you'll have to post a picture when you can.
