There must be a problem with the buds. There should be showy flowers at some point. Have you looked with magnification to see if there are mites or other pests?

Maybe try Garden Web African Violet forum.

You might have more luck posting this on the African Violet forum. You say it's a new variety, it looks like yours is still in the bud stage so maybe it just needs some time.

hi, thank you for advice,
There are no pests, all of the plants were the same
as the one i got. i try to post on the african violet forum.
but i give it sometime first to see if the buds will develop more.

I've never seen an AV with so many tiny buds. Even mini AV's don't produce that many. If you get an ID can you post back here? I'd love to see a pic when the buds open as well.

My guess is Saintpaulia Botanika. Because of the number of buds and bud size.

Carol do the buds not open fully on this variety? I just did a search and all the pics show them looking like the one you linked.

Hi, karyn1,
The link I sent you is of a plant winning a blue ribbon as a fully bloomed plant at its peak. Its flowers are fully open. It's an odd plant. People like it because its odd.

I don't care much for AV's but I do like that one, blooms and all. Do you know if The Violet Barn sells them?

It doesn't look like they do.

Looks like (possibly) an Optomara 'Never Floris'

I have one of these i bought years ago from Lowes. I’ve beebeen trytrying to find more inf about it for a long time. I love this violet because it is so unusual!

That is truly bizarre so I'm glad you pulled up this thread, HU*95, and I can't believe that you found one at a Lowe's! Does yours "bloom" as profusely as the one in OP's photo?
