African Violets

Is this an African Violet?

14 years ago

Dear All,

My wife and I attended a wedding and we took home the plant show in the link below. I vaguely remember the tag stating it was an African Violet. It seems quite healthy and it has been growing steadily for some time. I was researching if I should repot it and if the growth is normal, and now I am not sure after researching and looking at photos if this is, in fact, an African Violet. Can someone let me know? Many thanks.

Steve -

it was a begonia. I think there is a forum on begonias - so if you inquire there - you'd be told what begonia is it.

Good Luck

Hi,
I agree with Irina. Its a pure white wax begonia.
