Definition
A family of tropical flowering plants known for their colorful blooms, including African violets and gloxinias, commonly grown as houseplants.
Etymology
Named after Conrad Gesner, a 16th-century Swiss naturalist and polymath, with the suffix -aceae indicating a plant family in binomial nomenclature.
Kelly Says
African violets became a global craze in the 20th century partly because they bloom indoors under artificial light—something unusual for flowers—making them perfect for windowsills and earning them the nickname 'the houseplant revolution.'
