Congratulations!

Congratulations to these talented growers who have recently won awards with our hybrids! 

These are only the most recent winners as reported in the most current issue of the African Violet Magazine by the African Violet Society of America, Inc.  Subscription and membership information appears elsewhere on this site.


See your name here?  If you've won "Best in Show" with one of our hybrids, we'll deduct $10 from an order placed during the time you and your winner appears on this page!  If you qualify, your name will appear in bold print in the list below.  A new page will appear every two months as new winners are reported. 


Be sure to enter the "Robinson Collection" classes at next year's National AVSA Convention Show in Philadelphia in 2011! 

Collection must consist of 3 different varieties, all of same type (mini, semimini, trailer, or standard), all hybridized by us. First place winner receives $200 and 2nd place receives $100.  Should the first place entries by standard-size 'Ma's' varieties, an additional $50 will be awarded to the winner!

Special congratulations to Anne Nicholas for winning the award for Best Robinson collection at the 2010 AVSA National Convention show.  She received $150 and a beaded violet of "Rob's Love Bite" (valued at another $150) made especially for us by Svetlana Speransky. 


Congratulations to: As appears in the July 2010 AVM...
