violets! Flaming, African and otherwise

[DirtyCoconuts]

So this is a short and somewhat amusing story that led me to this love of these fun and fuzzy plants.

WW included a nice chunk of what I THOUGHT was an african violet, i asked the name and forgot and then moved on with my life.

the plant was this amazing (current photo below) Flaming violet and i was really interested in finding more. so i started a quest for African Violets. this led me to violet barn and a few local nurseries into trialing violets and then i waited and waited and nothing was doing what this first plant was doing.

I asked WW and was told, ya dummy, those are not AV they are Episcia....


so i found a few on etsy and now i have a decent set of fun colors and they are growing well....and i accidentally have a nice AV collection now too LOL




so what aV's and episcias do yall have?
