Hello, I have a fuzzy-leaved plant with purple flowers that I'd like to identify and care for. Can anyone tell by the picture, or is a closer one needed? Any information would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Hi 001. That's an African Violet. They aren't my specialty but someone will be along to give your more information.

Welcome 001,
Sounds like a spy movie.

Thanks!

Stay tuned.

Thank you, SongofJoy. And thank you for the welcome, Seedfork.

Am very glad to have gotten this plant identified so quickly. And looking at information from other searches, I now know to remove the dried flowers in hopes it will trigger new growth. (you have quite an eye for plants, SongofJoy)

Couldn't get any other name accepted for registration, by the way...lol...so that's the reason for that!

Well you would think that being the first member to sign up for this web site would give you a little clout around here.

You are welcome, 001. And thank you for the compliment.

Maybe @dave can help you edit to a name you would prefer?

001, there's also a Houseplants forum if you haven't located it yet. It's here:
