Ornamental Herb:
Could you help me ID my plant please.

Saintpaulia ionantha
Family: Gesneriaceae
African violet

How about an african violet? variety of Saintpaulia spp…..
leaves: features of this plant remind me of all the african violets
I have grown from leaf cuttings…. and the flower branching pattern… too… and the fine hair and succulent stems of flowers and leaves…. not to mention the flowers themselves …(of course some begonias may look like this)
but my vote so far is for African violet….
popular houseplant in the north american homes, and in england…
wish we would get them here now that many things are being imported… this is a delightful plant to have under a table lamp or the north windowsill.

To me it looks similar to Usambaraveilchen (Germanname)/Saintpaulia/, commonly known as African violet.

African violets are popular houseplants in the west:
For your visual delight, all those colors of a houseplant from South Africa..
very popular in USA and Canada, may even in UK
Binomial : Saintpaulia ionantha
Flowers in normal size are about an inch across total.. leaves upto 2 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and root easily to give rise to a new true descendant..
hybridizers have to wait for the seeds to develop..
I never learnt to fertilize them ( no pollinators inside the home, ) ha ha..:)
