Strangely, it wasn't what I ordered, so I got this one free. The one I ordered was a sport of this one, and I frankly don't remember what it looked like now. However, when it bloomed, I complained, and the ebay vendor confirmed with the breeder that it was a bit unstable and would often revert. I'm now not unpleased at all, just wasn't what I ordered. My replacement plant was K's Cherry Chip Frosting (which has a huge bloom load on it right now..all almost pure white, due to the current temperatures, I really really do love it's summer blooms with the dark pink swirls on the white background).

Hee, I should dig around my email and see what I actually ordered (just for grins).

WOW! I like that! I just put it on my never ending LIST!!!!! Rosie

Well Rosie, if you think you want it, I can either start plantlets for you or mail you a leaf in a month or two (when temps more stable). Being naturally lazy, I prefer the 2nd approach.

OK now, you've reminded me of another one I meant to be watching for - K's Cherry Chip Frosting. That's long been on my wish list. Now that I know you bought it on Ebay, I'll be watching closely. Thanks!

Yes, and I freely will say who I bought it from, and whole heartedly suggest you contact him (I checked last night, he didn't have any plant listings..but had some dry supplies), piercedm was the username. I was very very happy with his plants. Plus according to Irina, K's plants are kinda hard to find, he apparently has an 'in'.

dbarron you are a gem! Actually I would prefer the leaf. I like to start from the bottom and work my way up!!!!! Let me know when you are ready! (grateful as always) Rosie

That is so helpful, dbarron - thank you for the info. Yes, he is one of the vendors I follow because I'm impressed with his plants and the varieties he offers. I'll keep my eyes open as spring progresses to see what he puts up for sale. Thanks!

K's - hybridizer is Kathy Hajner. she has a

webpage on Facebook - Hajner Hybrids: Home of K's African Violets.

You can order directly from her.

Some of her plants are the result of crossing Optimara with Russian AVs - so the are vigorous, have great rosette - and interesting blossoms but not always come true from a leaf.

Very nice lady, she is from Albuquerque and I met her when we had a Convention there
