African Violet 'Arctic' Near Full Bloom


African Violet 'Arctic' Near Full Bloom (Saintpaulia ionantha)

This performs better and better each season, taking almost a year and a half to begin flowering at all for me.

Crikey GT, that blue is so "blue"

Its more an intense purple, but the camera always catches more blue, especially with indirect sun like here. I thought it came out so electric, I had to post. Another plus of those variegated leaves.

Like you say GT it is "electric" - it's almost like one of those fluorescent negatives of pictures ..
