African Violets __ "The
African violet (Saintpaulia) is an excellent flowering house plant which will
grow and flower under low light intensities found in the average home. Where
there is insufficient natural light, they can be grown and flowered successfully
entirely under artificial light. Large numbers of different varieties, types and
colors available, and the ease with which they can be propagated make this an
excellent plant for interior decoration of the home." This leads into a lot of
good information. - From University of Florida -
