This is one of my favorite Variegated African Violet, her name is Cajun's Lil Oh lahlah. a real sweetheart little plant that makes your day happy. We can describe her flowers as a two tone pink pansy-blue fantasy as well as variegated with medium green, pink and creamy leaves.
I had this plant for over four years, I thought I will never see her blooms because it seems like a limbo of dying and rising thingy.
I bought this miniature variegated plant online, actually in Facebook page where Variegated African Violets enthusiasts group together, it happens that I love African Violets but I cannot keep this plant alive. However, I did try anyhow to purchase and yes, it was really a struggle of making this plants alive.
Following instructions online of how to water, wicked, and everything doesn't seem to work for me and so I did try my own method or my own way. At last, it did work in my part, and now I have plenty of them and it makes me a few bucks too, which is nice and a plus of growing variegated African Violets.
After of four years struggling with this plant, she showed me her flowers and wow, I was stunning so beautiful where her pink variegation is really awesome and so pleasant to my eyes.
3*-This picture shows after the flowers withered for three months. Even though without her flowers, the leaves itself catches our eyes, the pinkish-white-green variegation is absolutely beautiful.
The above pictures are the baby plants. They are some of the successful propagation I did way back last year of September.
What I really like about African Violet in general is they are like a symbol of devotion. In the beginning I was also wondering why I like the plant so much, I thought was, the plant itself when flowered are very appealing to my eyes, however as the years go by internet are there to research on and I was so astounded that this plant is really symbolizes devotion, commitment and faithfulness.
In my own perspective why it's symbolizes as such, maybe it's the loving care, nurturing or taking care of these little houseplants requires dedication and patience. As what I said that, I had difficulty keeping this plant alive but I never gave up. So, this is what it means.
African violet in general is ideal for gift, an alive gift that keeps on growing because to propagate this plant is as easy as pie.
If you love plants and have a lot of patience and dedication, for sure you will love African Violet especially the variegated ones.
