Please Be Patient, Will take time to load.

-Note-
Most of these are first blossoms on very young plants, so many semidoubles look single, and some aren't full mature color yet. Sizes are not all to scale.
You monitor may show different colors than mine- they are all as close to life as possible from here :o)




'Painted Silk'





'Definitely Darryl'..........and 'Honey Berry'





Saintpaulia shumensis..........and 'Alexandria'

The leaves of the above:
Saintpaulia shumensis..........and 'Alexandria'

The leaves of 'Alexandria' really are that odd color, thinner than usual, and change colors a little daily, chameleon-like.




Size comparison:
'Tomahawk' with S. shumensis
Apologies to the international viewers, I can never find a cussed ruler around here when I want to, so I just used a US 10-cent piece.





The Leaves:
Just a couple more photos to show people what the differences in leaf types are:
Regular, or........................and,
"Boy" ........................"Girl"





The Leaves II:

Red Back ........................and Tommie Lou
________________________________variegation





'Texas Buttercup'..........and 'Alan's Fallen Angel'

[note on Texas Buttercup- the darker swirls or fantasy is much clearer in real life; and there's no yellow yet, but this is the first flower]




Unknown Standard..........and 'Tomahawk'

The mystery one has very dark, large leaves, with deep maroon backs- a nice contrast to the light flowers. Maybe someone knows the name?




Sports?

'Painted Silk' with gold variegation showing increasingly in the newer leaves- hard to scan the contrast between green and gold unfortunately.
Please forgive the sulfur spots.
-And 'Vallarta Oceano Bonito' as a bell, for the second flowering.
