Description
African violets never fail to remind me of my grandmother and great grandmother, and the warm cozy space they make in the home and the world. The velvety flowers, furry leaves and infinite variety of flowers and foliage in a collection make these potted plants a fun subject to paint, as well.
*****
Saintpaulias, commonly known as African violets, are a genus of 6�20 species of herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae, native to Tanzania and adjacent southeastern Kenya in eastern tropical Africa. Typically the African violet is a common household indoor plant but can also be an outdoor plant. Several of the species and subspecies are endangered, and many more are threatened, due to their native cloud forest habitats being cleared for agriculture.
