Very, very pretty.
I hadn't had an African Violet in years until I succumbed to temptation last week and brought a dark purple one home from a shopping trip to the garden center.

I've never seen a speckled one before. Yours is very pretty. I have a pale blue one that flowers at least twice a year for me.

Thanks Everyone,
It is really amazing this year. I have no idea how often it does bloom, but it sure likes the southern corner.
Thanks again

Simply exquisite.
That sure is a beauty. I hope it blooms for LONG, very long.
My one has been blooming non-stop for 14 months on my bathroom windowsill. (Facing south) And I must add I am so careful so as not to disturb it. I do not even want to start a new one from it. I am just leaving it as is.

That is a lovely, little plant. The freckles are so sweet. My girls would love one of those. I'll check the florist's next time I'm out shopping.
