Description

This is a rare african violet from Ann's beautiful collection. I'm sure she gave me more information about it, but this is from last Spring, and that's all I remember about it. Sneak Factor = Zero Sorry I haven't been giving you these ratings lately, but when I go shoot at Ann's place, she's standing right there the whole time, telling me what to take pictures of! I'm hardly being sneaky.

This is a spectacular capture. I am totally fascinated by what seems to be a unique formation of the reproductive bits at the heart.........Gorgeous!

Gorgeous shot, Tara. I love the spots of darker color mixed in. My mother raised African Violets, but none anything like these.

African Violets are so wonderful; I have about 12 of them, some of them were from mothers of friends, go back more that 50 years!! And they survive despite my neglect!! This one is particularly beautiful, now I'll have to look for one!!
