This is such a pretty plant. Just took new photos this morning.
New Rebel's Rose Bud pictures
Close up.
Hi Sally;
I don't think tis is rebels rosebud, as i have it & it's varigated, or am i just not seeing the varigation?
mrsbonnie
its got some varigation on the edges,gotta blow the picture up and youll see it
JIM
Sally, your violet's are always so gorgeous! You really can grow, gal!
I found photo's of Rebel's Rosebud but they all look a lot different than your plant.
This is from the AVSA website: http://www.avsa.org/Photographs/RebelsRosebudLrg.jpg#http://../Photographs/RebelsRosebudLrg.jpg%23
and, there aren't any photo's in Plant Files but it says the blooms are pale pink: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/131646/
More images I found googling: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=images+of+african+violet+rebel's+rosebud&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=1&ct=title

I think her plant might be a sport or grown a little warmer then most varigated ones like to be grown,but i could be wrong
JIM
It sure is pretty. I love the ruffly pink blooms!
Sally---do you grow Rebel's rosebud in a cool room and/or on the bottom shelf of your stand? That will effect variegation on many AV's, some more than others. The darker pink in the blooms could merely be lighting or camera settings. Or I suppose it could have sported...In any event, it is a beautiful plant and a beautiful pic...as usual Sally!
Yes, it is a R. Rose Bud. Someone that shows them wants a leaf. This plant, like my Sunlit Sugar Plum, gets lighter, then darker with variegation. Here is a photo of my Sunlit. Very green. Right now it is VERY VERY light. I will add a new pic. from yesterday of my Sunlit.
It is on the bottom shelf, next to my Sunlit, Private Dancer and others. My house is always cool.
Oooooh .... there's my favorite beauty that Sally grew so wonderfully! I just LOVE that Sunlit Sugarplum! That is an stunning plant! Sally, you really do have a way with AV's!
A brand new pic. of Sunlit Sugar Plum from yesterday. The whole plant has lots of white now.

OOH! My bad! You definately don't need any advice from me Sally! That's a gorgeous plant--I've never seen it before. Love it.
pviolets, no matter what, it is pretty, ha.
WOW,you got a knack,mine growing tech for violets need some tweaking,maybe if I paid more attention to them,
JIM

Oh my, Mac's Luxurious Leisure is a nice one too ... I just love the ruffly, variegated foliage!
I found a photo at the AVSA site too: http://www.avsa.org/Photographs/Mac'sLuxuriousLeisureLrg.jpg#http://../Photographs/Mac'sLuxuriousLeisureLrg.jpg%23 Wow! I love the foliage and blooms on this one!
edited to add: But, Bonnie ... your foliage is so much prettier with all that white variegation!
