You'd think I'd know but I don't.....what exactly ARE "vintage violets"? =)
What are Vintage Violets?
A vintage African violet is is an African violet 20-25 years old or older. It's very important to keep these varieties alive by growing and sharing them :)) Do you have any ? Allison

Oh wow...thanks for sharing this! I didn't know..I will have to look through this..though I doubt I have any :(
Everyone should try tp grow at least one Vintage AV and share them to keep them going :))
Maybe start a thread of who has what so that there can be an exchange in the spring.
Begonia I sent everyone some Vintage. Off top of my head, your Prides Pink trail, The King is from 1975 , are two Vintage you have :))
King's Treasure soon it's from 1989 now they say 20 years old a Vintage. Allison
I know! I love it, been watching them on eBay too. I think one is called Madonna? White dbl flowers? If so, that's one I'm looking out for.
PS Begoinia your Royal Wasp and The Martin are Vintag also. You have a great start on Vintage Av's.
Begonia I have a White Madonna in bloom promiced to MsC but I have leaves down and can giv you one also :)) She is from 1953 and girl foliage too :)) . Allison

okey doky. I have Vintage White Butterfly and Vintage Silver Wings growing for MsC if you want one also :)) Allison
I have Pixie pink which says it is vintage..not sure of any others just yet
Yes I have Pixie Pink and yes Pixie Pink and Pixie Blue are awesome vintage trailers
Everyday I find new Vintage babies growing. May sell some sense each leaf give me a few :)) I found gorgeous Black Ace 11/24/1978, and Fredette's Moonflower . Both have blossoms that you must wear bibs to look at. :))
