I want a yellow one. Is there such an animal? Is it an or a I never know. I ain't no english major. :)
Are There Yellow African Violets
Kind of. There are a large number of "yellow" varieties, but much as the "blue" roses are purple, many of the "yellow" african violets aren't very yellow. They seem to be getting stronger yellows every year, though. Here's an auction on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=75640&item=4319332982&rd=1
The Chantaspring is a miniature trailing variety with bell-shaped blooms (although I think the blooms can also be white, so you'd want to be sure to get a yellow one). There are good pictures on this website under "trailers": http://www.bloomlovers.com/. I really like this unique plant. You can check out her other varieties, too-- there may be more yellow ones! Hope this helps.

There's one called Golden Eye near the bottom of this page, it's a semi-mini. http://www.robsviolet.com/mini%20violets%201.htm Just click on the name to see the picture. There might be more on the site, too, if you look around. I haven't ordered anything from here yet, but I'm thinking about it. There's an incredible selection, and he has a good rating in the Garden Watchdog, too.

Another resourse is http://steverd.com/violets/leaves.htm. If you scroll down on the left window you have your choice of colors. Choose yellow, they have quite a few varieties.
