Sal kemple on Jul 02, 2013Yup, maybe a gloxinia, but if those are small flowers they could also be a form of violet.Helpful Reply

Bonnie Spamer on Jul 02, 2013Gloxinias are in the same family as African Violets. Both have "furry" leaves. Begonias do not have "furry" leaves.Helpful Reply

Lynne Reis-Napier on Jul 02, 2013Thanks a bunch, everyone!! No doubt in my mind this is a Gloxinia - I sure hope I can take care of it correctly, but, from what I've read, not sure with my semi-light-green thumb :)Helpful Reply

Cindy R on Aug 01, 2013Sorry everyone but this is an African Violet, not a Gloxinia. I have grown many African Violets. Gloxinia flowers are bigger and have a different shape.Helpful Reply
