This plant isn't an African violet. It's an Episcia, also
known as the flame violet, trailing violet, or chocolate soldier plant. The
grower calls it Daphne's Choice.
I didn't even know there was such a plant as
"trailing" violets. I searched for yellow violet, this one came up, I
saw the bloom from the front, and added that bad boy to the cart. When I got
it, I thought one of bloom stalks was broken during shipping. I Googled images
of Episcia and realized the stalk was not broken--it's a runner that will
branch out and attach to the soil. Because that's what they do! This is one of
the few times that skipping over the full product description has worked out
well for me.
The pink and white one is a chimera, and the adorable
miniature one’s name is Blue Blazes. It looked blue on the website, but in real
life and in my pics, it has beautiful blooms that are purple.
I also bought a pink bromeliad.
Hope you enjoy my flowers!
