Variegated African Violet


Variegated African Violet (Saintpaulia ionantha)

This one I love for the foliage and didn't mind if it didn't bloom. But this was unexpected. A great vivid purple, really glad it did.

Thank you each for commenting. This one is such a darling! I had to have it for the cream variegation, but these deep blooms I didn't remember at all. Really quite a look.
