Dear Friends,

african violet

Welcome to our African Violet Website! We are pleased to present to you, our newest introductions for 2010! As always, we have included many of our favorite, older varieties of violets, as well as varieties from other hybridizers too! We offer many types of gesneriads, as well as some other choice, exotic and unusual "companion plants". A small selection of terrarium plants is also offered.

This website is our "MAIN" catalog offering most of the varieties we grow in our greenhouses. We do offer a printed version of our catalog. It is a "limited" size catalog, mostly of our new varieties, and some of our more popular varieties from previous years. It has some pictures, mostly of our new introductions! If you would like a copy, or know someone who would (and doesn't have access to the WEB), you can order one for them! We do charge $3.00 for our New catalog.

If you have ordered from us within the past 4 years, you will automatically receive our NEWEST catalog in the mail. (No need to send a request for one!) We usually send it out in the mail sometime around March/April.
