African Violet 'Reflections of Spring'

***UPDATE: This AV is now about 10 years old and the blooms right now are INSANE! I everything I said years ago still rings true. I have ...Read Morenoticed that since putting it in a bright north facing window in the bathroom, it has exploded with blooms! I have found over the years that the tight cabbage blooms loosen and even open more with increased humidity. Can't think of my collection without it. See my updated pics! ***
I absolutely love this plant!!! Not only does it bloom profusely, the blooms last for an extreme number of weeks! There was one time it was 3 months for one set! They are usually in cabbage form so maybe the lack of air exposure keeps them from aging quickly. The colors of the blooms are not bold or harsh. They are a gentle green on the outer side of each petal, opening to a bluish gray. If the bloom opens fully after many, many weeks the flowers turn a bit purplish, in my experience. It is still a very light, sweet shade of it, though. It is not guaranteed that one or any will open fully during the bloom time. Usually they are only halfway open, like they arehiding a precious secret. :-)
It likes to sucker, so you can get a 1 or 2 beautiful babies each season. I have one from last year and another that I need to remove and pot.
If you love an easy going african violet with massive and extended blooms, this is your plant!!
