I bought this beauty about 4 months ago. It was in bloom when I purchased it and has now re-bloomed for me. I wish I knew more about my plant. Maybe someone can help identify this plant for me.
Thank you in advance,
taztux
Can anyone put a name on my african violet?
That is beautiful!!!!!!!! Without identification that comes with a plant, it is virtually impossible to know for sure. Optimara no longer even puts a name on theirs..........you can go to the AVSA website and look through 15,000 names but ................
It is magnificent............I will trade you leaves..........I would love to grow that one...............if they don't come with a name, they often bloom differently each time they bloom...........if they continue to bloom the same way and color, you just may have a named variety..............is it a very large one or a regular standard size violet????
**********edited to say that if you let me have a pair of leaves from that one, I will grow you a named variety that you love.................i grow all the time from leaf............

Hi Gail,
I am soooooooo excited. Thank you for the information and the offer. My plant is a standard size ( I think ). It is in a 4" pot and it is 8" across at the widest. The largest leaf is 2 1/4" long ( not including the stem ) and 2" across. How do I send you some leaves?
Waiting to hear,
Judy
You have dmail, taztux!!!!!!!!!!
That sure is beautiful. I've never seen that av before. Don't know the name, wish I did.
Hi There,
It is either an Optimara Millenia or Optimara Rita. Either way it is lovely!!!
you can go to the Optimara site and get the full descrptions to help you determine which.

Hello Ccino42,
I believe you are right. It sure looks just like Optimara Rita. Thank you for the info, and by the way I love your cat.
Thank you - he is a lovely little boy, but can be a brat! LOL
PS I have Opt. Millenia I just love it!
Now, how could I .... A cat person miss that Handsome Kitter?? We have 4 (all girls) in our family and a couple can be real brats too! They all have different personalities and moods to match! LOL.
Yes Kitts are great people! LOL
I have 2. Sasha is also a beauty. She is my little Princess!
Oh my .... she is a Beauty! What kind of cat is she? Her coloration with the cream and brown are just Gorgeous!And, that face .... she is a pretty girl! Now .... the way that photo turned out with those orange eyes she would be a perfect Halloween statue!
LOL yes she could be a Halloween Satue in that photo!
She is a Himalain Siamese. A very dainty doll!
Eyes are actually blue but I can never get them in a Photo!
