allison..lol...that's an old thread but a true one

Oh Allison. What is the name of that plant? That's gorgeous!!

Perhaps it would not be a bad idea to change the forum name to "African Violets and Gesneriads"
instead of just African Violets

Violet! What a beautiful plant. What is it? I am in love!!!

I know it's an old thread. But it's an excellent one I felt needed bumped up to make everyone welcome with all their Gesneriads . I noticed Wonderful Keyring answered trois thread but no one else. And I wanted " trois" and others to know were all Gesneraid crazy too !
Laurie I feel that's a great idea ! African violets are Gesneraids too An African violet is a " Gesneraid " :))
That's is one of my favorite plants ! Alsobia Cygnet
In the 1960's it was registered as an Epsica " Flame Violet" but now it has been given it's own catorgory.
To me it will always be an Epsica . It grows babies and roots just like them :)) Sorry I a bad speller. I tried to download the google Laurie and it did not work I don't know what I did worng ?
Another one of my favorite is Chirita S. Hisako :))

That's another beauty.

ah, but "Gesneria" is the name of a genus within the Gesneriad family. http://gesneriads.ca/gengesne.htm

Thanks Keyring and African violet is part of the Gesneriad family ? Right ?
Heh I have not got my second magazine yet ? Will it come soon. I just got my welcome package with last Dec begin of the season issue is that correct ? Just wonderfin when another will come ?
