Flowers on girl foliage or variegated plants always seem like a bonus to me, nice if I get them, but I think the plant still looks great just with its interesting leaves. :-)

Sometimes you can help a plant to flower... Try repotting in fresh mix, add a little bit of fertilizer when you water (I use 1/4 strength water soluble fertilizer). Make sure they're getting enough light... if they have flowered before for you, then you know where they like to be.

I'm glad you enjoyed the article, and I'm glad you're having fun with your African violets, too!
