closeup of miniature saintpaulia...

Wow that IS a miniature. Its a lovely colour. My mini isn't as small as this one.

I like the minis. Must look out for some for indoor colour.

My mini has been successful letting it keep its offshoots. That can diminish flowering on the larger varieties but my mini just gets bigger and fuller. This is beautiful Lori. Looks like a dark foliage also. I like the contrast. I just gave mine a good winter pruning to let it fill up for a long blooming season, just around the corner.

I've been giving my saintpaulias more attention this winter than I have before...poor babies I was neglecting them too much... I find they seem happiest when I'm not overly conscientious..lol. but they look happy now that I've seen to their soil needs and given them a good soak and a light feed... I think I may find a large aq and plant it up with saintpaulias and driftwood and some ferns...they just love high humidity and a terrarium is the best way I can give them what they need...house is just too dry for them.
