Africana

[deeky]

Another hobby I'm working deeper into - African Violets. While the hybrids are quite a bit different from the original St. Paulia varieties, they are quite stunning. These shots were actually taken for a more documentary purpose for another forum.

As always, comments welcome.

The first is a Russian hybrid, the Duchess. This blossom is a solid 2 inches across.

The second is the Buckeye Cranberry Sparkler. Not quite as big, but it has variegated foliage that I think really sets off the blossoms.
