About a month ago I got a call from my local botanical shop telling me their owner had some variegated African violets if I was still interested and I simply had to jump on the chance! I inquired over a year ago as she left them in shop for staff to look after while she was away and I expressed to the staff how beautiful they were, turns out she spent all this time getting them propagated and suitable to go home🥹 these beauties have been home with me for a month now and the larger one is especially happy, 3 new flowers and a fresh bud trying to pop out pluuus some beautiful new variegation🥰 the second smaller one is popping out tons of new leaves too!! I’m so excited for them to keep growing? They’re already soo beautiful💗💗 #variegatedplants #VariegatedAfricanViolet #AfricanViolet #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #PlantLove #FloweringPlants
