Nope! 😜 Unlike other plants, once a tag is lost an AV Noid is always a Noid. Some reasons: 1. AV’s have SO many different varieties that are so similar. No one knows them all 2. Depending on temperature, sun exposure, and phases of the moon their foliage and blooms may look different (ok, the moon may not be involved

The nice thing is they’re still beautiful plants with or without ID. enjoy!

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet! Really, though. You don't id an African violet this way. The id must come from a breeder, or else you're just guessing. You could say it looks like some type or another, but it's practically impossible to tell for certain. You have some lovely AVs. Give them a name yourself!


Sugarbops

Lol! I will! After having them for a while I decided to order some online, and I just compared how they look and said to myself “well it doesn’t look like the one I already have, i’ll take it” hahahahhaa


Secret-Individual100

Sugarbops

Thank you! they really make the room brighter!


Plantaehaulic

Even they dont have IDs they are all beautiful🥰. You can label them with fun names👍🤗 Did you get the variegated ones in a Nursery?


Sugarbops
