African Violets – Thumbprints
These flowers have a unique pattern that makes them extra special. Each flower is "stamped" with a second color in the middle of each petal. Sometimes a third color is added, usually wrapping around the second color. Some of these varieties need cool conditions to correctly exhibit all colors. They may lose their descriptive patterns during warm conditions, but those will return when cooler temperatures prevail.
