You have a particularly nice specimen. Some have too little fantasy and eventually fade to all white (been there, done that)
BF, where do you buy your violets? Locally? Russia? Japan? The U.S.?
If you don't buy locally, how bad are the shipping charges?

This Playful Spectrum was from the Violet Barn.

There is no African violet nursery here in this country selling violets with names, so I would mail order from the vendors, mostly from the US.- the Violet Barn, Bluebird Greenhouse and Bloomlovers, etc. Whatever the shipping charges cost, I would order the number of plants to cost at least equals to the shipping charges. That means the cost of each plant would be twice the price as it is marked in the web. To get the violet parcels from the vendors is so much fun. I am really happy.

Your Playful Spectrum is very beautiful. I hope mine blooms the same.

My plant gives me fits but your is a true beauty!
