Mine in now starting to bud. It grew very very quickly and it seems like it matured overnight. I'll post a picture of the flower when the buds open.

okay leon, it's been overnight. we want pix! love the frill ...

Buds haven't opened yet.

The flower on the original post is very pretty, I want to see the whole plant (when it blooms), oh, it's been another overnight....how about it Leon ? :)

Chuckle, I have a red violet from VB (dont' recall the name just off top of head) that I'm waiting on opening now...I see progress every day...but not open yet, so I understand.

bragu and dbarron,,,,,the two of you are too funny! Give Leon 5 minutes! I bet as soon as he is a proud papa he will show off his new baby! Right Leon? Rosie

I'll post it when it opens for sure. But its taking its own sweet time.

Yes, my (name found) Jolly Mars is also taking it's time. Last round it bud blasted...after a very very long stall in growth.

Very rewarding variety, good red, good rosette. Probably took forever to adjust to your conditions. Some plants just take it like fish to the water - and some sulk ... sometimes it takes 2 generations from leaves to finally get them go.

It's not opened yet. I cursed it this morning; maybe that'll help.

Well if the African violet going to bloom any too - much dry air , concider right water method is on cue..

Potent curses, I hope Leon ? :) My Jolly Mars is opened (but not fully expanded)

Leon - Did your Ma's Voodoo Doll violet bud ever open?
