closest AV to a white daisy?

10 years ago

i recently commissioned an african violet pot painted with daises as a gift for my mom, whose favorite flower is the white daisy. i was originally going to put her grandma's african violet in there and give the pair as a gift for xmas, but then i got to thinking... with all of the varieties of african violets out there, perhaps there is one that looks almost like a daisy?

if anyone knows of any african violet that has white flowers that look close enough to daisy flowers that someone could see the resemblance once it's pointed out, that would be awesome. the leaves would need to be green, preferably medium green but other green would suffice.

Take a look at Lemon Whip. This is from Fancy Bloomers. It was the closest to a daisy that I could find.

Senk's Alchemy Parakeet is another possibility ...

Yes, anything that shows the yellow stamens will look similar to the coloring of a daisy.

Go to FC2 search and write in white blossom. That will give you all white flowered hybrids.

Lunar, aegis: Thanks for the suggestions! :D

Nancy: I did that before I even posted here, but just because "white" exists in the blossom field does not mean that the flower itself is white. :) I asked here because searching through 5,906 entries did not seem like the best idea in the world when 3,473 of those results didn't even have a picture and the experienced and knowledgeable members of this forum might know right away.

This is a picture of the pot I got for my mom. It's going to be a fun project getting an AV ready to go in it!

Checkout Easter Angel on the Lyndon Lyon site. Might fit the bill.
