Good Morning, I've always wondered if there would ever be a scented african violet. They are blossoms that are pretty close up but no scent. Is anybody...
The scent question has been asked many times and most answers have been negative. But don't give up hope. There are other scented gesneriads and remember...
Jeff, I'd tried to send this to you previously, but I guess I had an old email address. The discussion on this topic might indicate an interest for an article...

Hi Joe; I also believe that a bloom of two shades of a color should be called bi colored. More than one color should be designated multi colored. Warren...
