Question

Can any one tell me where i could find the AV with the real long narrow leaves kinda stringbean type. I know this is not much to go on. it is a standerd and is supposed to become huge. Thank you

Jill ... I have no idea which AV you are referring to. I never knew there was one with long, narrow leaves. I know the Streptocarpus has real long and kinda narrow leaves.


I just googled "African Violet with long narrow leaves" and found this: Look at the description for Cape Primrose (Streptocarpus):

Here's a photo of one with those long, slender leaves:

Here's the link in Plant Files with info on Streptocarpus:

I should have given you the Plant Files link that shows a bunch of different ones. They are beautiful plants and in the Gesneriad Family like African Violets. Look at all these Beauties:
