African Violets

Pink Variegation

14 years ago

My Mother gave me this AV and I just wanted to share. She found it at a local grocery store, no ID but I'm not to worried about it having a name. She's had it for a few months now so it has lost some variegation, but I have it in a bit brighter of a location so I'm hoping it will return. Enjoy!

Pink variegated leaves are my favorite. Nice! Often pink appears the strongest with cooler temps.

terrilou,
I had to research this one a little bit (I'm not by any means an AV expert) and I found what you mentioned about the cooler temperatures. That would explain the green leaves seeing as it's been rather warm. Thanks for the information. :)
