            Looks like I'm speaking to myself in this topic. Probably, no need to keep this on top of the list...

            Will not bother you too much :). Only a couple of new varieties I liked - Sandra and Lisica:

                Alisa,

                Very nice.

                I was at a RHS show a few weeks ago, and Dibley's had a stand.
                They always have a fantastic range.

                    Wow! These are gorgeous. I especially like Jan-Kapriz and Bristol's Psychedelic Sun.

                        Very nice Nigel :)

                        @Alisa your African Violets are stunning! :spinning:

                        I've just started out with African Violets after being tempted in Poundland recently! someone on one of the Facebook groups very kindly helped me ID them as Holtkamp/Optimara hybrids! I was so happy as I just assumed that they wouldn't be identifiable because of how many there are...

                        and I've gone and ordered another 10 leaves from a lady in Germany which I can't wait to arrive!

                            I've got to re-pot the ones I bought from poundland first though, take off all the flowers and suckers and then also put down a couple of leaves of each to be safe and then clean off most of the soil and plant up into new pots, I don't want to potentially start off with hitchhikers if I can help it :sofa:
