Vendors
**NEW** Three Oak Violets. Amy Cash-Allison has long been a figure within the african violet world, and is now becoming a vendor offering leaves of mostly mini's and semi's for sale on her new website. Either you've seen her award-winning violets at a show around the country, or you've read her articles in the African Violet Magazine.
Cash-Allison is offering her quality leaves with a shipping season that starts in March. Her site offers many of the classic varieties seen winning at the shows (frequently by her) as well as some less-distributed KNOCK-OUTS! Check it out and contact her soon so you're all set for the start of the season.
Thefranklinhouse Violets. Andrea Worrell's new site for violet leaves. If you don't know her, she's a staple of the violet shows around the country. She grows one h*ll of an amazing plant. ( Look at the photo of one of her plants in the current AVM) I know she has an inside connection with many of the biggest hybridizers, so as her offerings expand, there should be some unique stuff.
It even seems that she's only selling leaves from plants with which she has won a blue ribbon! Yikes, that discipline! I just received a shipment from her that included many generous extras. Check out the Blog page to see them!
