my hubby went to work at 2 job yesterday,the lady that works in office gave it to him,she said it was some kind of violet but i don,t know
is this a violet
Starfly~ It's not an African Violet...but it may be a type of gesneriad. There are some really helpful people on this forum who will let you know :))
PlantiMcPlanter
thank you,she gave him 3 different types, halven,t took pictures of the other 2
For sure it's not an AV, do the other plants have the same sort of foliage and habit?
It is a nematanthus I believe :) I think it is tropicana but not entirely positive :)
Definitely is a gesnersiad but not an AV
You are sooo smart!
Erm..definitely not April :)
And I am only givng an educated guess on the tropicana..many nems look alike :)
you are tooo modest- you don't want to know what I initially thought it was. ;-o
aprilwillis,Chris_Lorry,
heres a picture of the other 2 there different
This sounds crazy, but the white flower looks like a gardenia...
heres the other one
and she has 2 more shes giveing him next week when he goes back there to work
ok guys, that is a gardenia by it ,i thought it was pretty it came off my gardenia bush
Whhewww! I am glad that I said what I thought instead of trying to sound like I knew more than I do.
It is pretty and I love gardenias, they smell so wonderful don't they?
I'd have to agree w/ Lorry, who knows more about these things, that it looks like a nematanthus- I wouldn't even begin to guess about anything more specific.
LOL the gardenia is lovely :)
They all look like nematanthus to me :) without a flower, it is hard to say which ones they are :)
thanks everyone
Oh wait..the second one likes like alsobia.
The first one with the shiney leaves is a nematanthus and I believe the second..with the serrated leaves is a alsobia :)
They African violet Cousinds SP Sorry
One is beautiful nematanthus and one is a Cygnet these are many Cygnets I sent you Alsobia
I am not feeling well as I am I can tell you more,
Violet_Treasure
you take care of your self,don,t worry about anything but your health,you are in our prayers
love Eunice
I'm pretty sure the second one (posted at 1:24) is a columnea. Thicker fleshier stems, fuzzier leaves than a nem.
Yes the first picture most likely is a Nematanthus . Maybe Nematanthus 'Tropicana'
http://gesneriads.ca/nemata25.htm
But there are a lot of them. Will be nice to see the flowers :))
Keyring know Gesberiads really well so she is most like right !
The other picture is most likly a Cygnet .
These are all kissing cousins of Afircan violets.
There are so many
I thought this plant was interesting
Nematanthus albus Chautems ined
When they bloom we can tell more !
Their beautiful Plants Eunice ! You deserve them :))
