identify african violet?

Can anyone help me in identifing this african violet? It usually has more of a splattering of purple on the pink petals.

Thanks,

Greg

There are more hybrid African Violets than there are orchids! You might want to do a search on some of the big African Violet growers and check out their on-line catalogs. You might luck out and find a picture of your plant.

Thanks for the reply. I am doing some research with the African Violet Association of America's web page. The only trick is that there are so many pages of pictures to look through. I figured I'd cover all of my bases and check here too. Thanks.

Greg is right, there are literally thousands of varieties of african violets! Unfortuently, there is no real way of telling what you have. There are so many violets that look simular or even identical to other varieties. For a plant that you don't know the variety of, in the violet world, we call them NOIDs (No Identity). It's better to call it NOID, then to pass a leaf on to someone who "thinks" it is a certain variety when it is not.
