The African Violet,

scientifically known as Streptocarpus, belongs to the gesneriad family which contains over 2,500 species of plants. The African violet is probably the most popular and best-known member. Many gesneriads grow well under the same household conditions we enjoy. You can grow other gesneriads like Achimenes, Episcias, Sinningias and Primulinas alongside your violets.

​On June 16,2022 we held our annual judging of our project plant. We selected a standard African violet, Jacob's Ladder, hybridized by Lyndon Lyon Greenhouses as our project plant for 2021. A nice two tone purple, double star. A sport of "Free Falling". The flower edges are delightfully ruffled. The foliage is medium green, quilted and serrated. Thanks to all the members who participated and congratulations to the winner!
