Was just wondering if anyone is growing any? I have grown the
regular size, but I would like to try the minis. They are just so precious!

I had one for about 5 years and for what ever reason it passed on.

I would love to find another.

I'd love to see the mini's...violets are my favorite flowers, both wild and African :) In fact, our little one, due in February is going to be named Violet.

Love the minis! Care is same as full-sized violets. Would love to have one right now -- in the midst of this cold, white winter, a mini dose of violet cheer is needed.

I've heard of them, but never seen one. African violets aren't really a very big plant to begin with. I'll bet the minis would be perfect in a terrarium with fairies or something.

I tried starting them from seed last year, and none came up, the seed was expensive, don't know if the soil was wrong, or heat or light or what, but, DH said no more...
