African Violets

Were Are 'Senks', & 'Fly' Violets Sold ?

12 years ago

I really like the 'Senks' and 'Fly' type violets, I dont know if they are one and the same,so dont jump on me,...I love the bustle back foliage, and the long stems of tiny blooms, and odd shaped blooms. Does anyone know if there is a special or certain website, or catalog, that sells either only these kind of violets, or carries a lot of them?

I find them here and there on EBay only. I got a 'wine colored one a month or so ago, and it has already died on me.

While the 'Blue Fly' keeps growing and is propagated so easily.

So I am looking for other colors and varieties of these kind of violets. does anyone know of such a website or seller of them? Please let me know.

Bluebirdgreenhouse had some wasp plants - some Wizards as far as I know too - yellow wasps. Interesting plants - but "Blue Fly" is exceptional - it sure grows like a beanstalk - and equally fast.

I went to the Bluebird site, I tried a search for 'fly ' or Senk' and it came up blank. What type are they listed under. i cant go through the entire catalog to find them. That yellow one sounds very interesting.
