Default African Violets

I just wanted to share some of my African Violets . Just 3 of my 9, but all that's in bloom now. I have another just starting to bud.

They are very pretty! I really like coloring of all three! Are these miniature? My 'miniature' got quite large so I think it may have been mislabeled. :|

I need to get some more. I really like the solid pink one. Fortunately, our Orchid Show is held at a large nursery that always happens to have African violets....

Nice! I used to always have a few A/V around, but, then the orchids took over ... I do have one currently that a neighbor gave me earlier in the year, and it's blooming quite nicely now, too

My relatives in the Midwest grew them wonderfully. My house is too hot for them in our summers. They are not warm-growing plants at all. Fortunately many of their Sinningia relatives like heat.
