I got this African violet… sometime in the summer.  From Lowe’s, for like $4.  I went for it because a) I thought it might be one of these awesome space violets since it’s so weirdly frilly, and b) I’d never seen an African violet with green flowers before.

So last night I finally went to the Optimara site to find the cultivar, and… turns out this is mySensation, a new and rare cultivar, and apparently the only green one, which explains why I’d never seen one before!

Also, is that a sucker there?  Where it’s pushing the flower stalks apart?
