Someone was asking to see this plant ~ Right not it's my largest African violet !
Now my Chirita may be larger ~ but this is largest Av !
Guelph's Christmas (9120) 04/20/2002 (J. Brownlie/Guelph University) Semidouble-double fuchsia large frilled star/thin white-green edge. Medium green, quilted, glossy, wavy, serrated/red back. Large
teasing you ! Here is the plant !
Top view this plant is much larger than it looks .
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Thanks Colie I have shared many babies and leaves of her !
She has lot's of buds under her pretty serrated wavy foliage !
She take up half of a 3 ft by 2 ft lighted shelf !
She is wonderful, Allison.
Thanks Nanna ! I did not try to grow her large. As I gave many sets of leaves away and grew many babies of her I gave away. I just got her as a small plt in 2.50 pot last begin Nov. from VG and with all I've taken from her she sure gave me a lot more back !
I think it was Jacki or Kelly who asked for up-date pictures of this one. Fun to grow !
That first picture is fabulous! So much detail - you are turning into an incredible photographer, Allison!!
aww Thanks Cheryl ! Your so sweet. This is a fun plant to grow ! And the flowers are large and colorful pretty ! Maybe I sould get some of that bloom booster and give it a feeding se if I can get zillions of flowers ! I have not had food for months so I bet it's hungrey. It was trans-planted before I had soil-less mix with food. If it's hungry it's fooling me . lol As she keeps growing and blooming !
Allison, I can't wait for mine to get that big!! The leaves you sent me are doing great. I look forward to the blossoms!
Sanna
Thanks Sanna ! How is your's doing ? Do you have it under light ? Under lights even end of tube with increase make it happy and it will grow crazy and bloom for you ! I just got mine last Begin Nov, and it has grown great and I have shared babies and leaves. Progates fast too !
Some plants just naturally grow large.
Yes this plant is a Large growing plant ! I have cared for it good too. Sense I got it first week Nov, it was in 2.50 inch pot, I put it into my soil new 2.50 inch pot, then it went to 3 and 4 and now it is in 5 inch azeala pot ! It's also amazing I gave several sets of leaves away and about ten babies ! It progates super.
All in 7 months of owning ! Amazes me anyways :)) Sanna do you have a pictures of you baby ? I forget who else has one ! How are they growing for you !
And other plant I have had luck with like this one is my Russian Snow Leopard grown by leaf. I bought one small leaf for $ 4.75 from Bluebirds begin last Fall. And gave Lali, April and I have plants from it. From mine I have grown several plants, and had suckers. Anna got one , Jill got one, I think Colie, hhmmm One is going to Joanne in Canada ! I for get everyone but these plants have grown fast and healthy that has been exciting for me to grow and be able to share them with many !
It's so excitng to have Afircan violet plants grow like this by one tiny leaf and ten months latter it's about 14-16 inches across forever blooming big fluffy blossoms ! And best of all have been able to share it with many PEEPS ! This is very excitng for me !
ohhh! May I possibly beg a leaf from you! It is very beautiful. I am fasicnated by the fushia colored AV.
Sure I will give you a leaf ! :)) It's a wonderful plant to grow fun !
You are just the greatest, Allison! Do I need to send you shipping money?
Did you still want a box of plants and leaves ?
Dmail me if so. I ship all plants and leaves priority mail.
The first box starts at $ 3.95 I think ?
Gardner I was mixing you up with 'Gardengirl1204'
who wanted a box of plants and leaves.
But you may have a box also if you like for shipping.
I know $4.00-$5.00-10-$15.00 does not sound like much. But I have sent dozens of boxes out for shipping, and I have sent a lot out and got no shipping for them and these 4.00 and 5.00 up add up fast when I ship so much. Then suplies add up. If I had money I'd ship everyone FREE plants/leaves and FREE shipping but I am on a very limited SSD income with lot's of medical needs .
But I do like to share. !
Oh beautiful Allison,Cant wait for mine to grow up:)
How is your's doing Jan /
Its doing very well Allison. getting big.No flowers yet.
Sure has grown ! Looks great !
Allison, that is so beautiful. I can't wait until some of my large plants get that big. Your plants are always so pretty. I can see that you take such good care fo them.
Jesse
Thanks Jesse
You are most welcome Allison. :)
Jesse
Jan your other plants and your blooming trailer look so pretty and healthy too !
Thank you Allison,I love the little Trail along! I have many plants coming on with buds about to open! Can wait to post pictures for you to see.I'm a proud step-mom:)
That's super Jan I can't wait to see them exciting !
My Trail Along is doing super ! It always has some flowers but I'm sure once I get more room and it goes under lights it will have zillions ! Not to mention it's been over cast for the past week with hardly no sun.
I'd love to get clip on grow light fixtures for my window shelves but the idea does not sound too fun to Hubby. lol
