Wow! What an entire information!

That your African Violet I like the most.

I perceive  that white-violet connection  as an union of the  purity and spirit.

Have a "violet"  mood today!

Thank you. That is the name... I found this in google :

Gloxinia

The Gloxinia (Sinningia speciosa) is a popular indoor plant. The species was originally part of the genus Gloxinia, and was called Gloxinia speciosa, but has been separated to its own genus Sinningia, although the common name continues to be gloxinia. To avoid the confusion, it is also often called Florist's Gloxinia.
Gloxinia originates from the jungles of Brazil, where it was first discovered in 1785. The name Gloxinia speciosa was assigned to it by English gardener Conrad Loddiges in 1817, in honour of physician Benjamin Peter Gloxin of Colmar, Germany. In 1825, it was separated from the genus Gloxinia into the newly named genus Sinningia, after the curator of the Botanical Gardens in Bonn, Wilheim Sinning. Modern day gloxinia are hybrids from two species Sinningia speciosa and Sinningia maxima.
Gloxinia flowers come in colours ranging from pure white to pink, lavender, red, to deep purple. There are also those in two colours and those with white-border petals. The most popular cultivars are those in deep red and purple. Cultivation of gloxinia is similar to that of its cousin, the African Violet.

The one I have is the Gloxinia African Violet :)

They exist also in red (beautiful really)

Have a wonderful day Gosia and all :)

I don't know what is a name of the flowers, but  I can see a pure beauty of natura.

It is only a pity that there is a low definition of the picture, forced (imposed)  by ning.
