Color Challenge Saturday Indigo -- Our two blooming houseplants -- African violet/Saintpaulia

[urs]

Just found those pictures from my files.I made them when we arrived in Switzerland in our flat last November.Our neighbor looked well while we have been away for one and a half year.(Last time we have been there in the meantime)
Looks as the plants were well organized and welcomed us here.My mum had them as long as I can remember...I would say they are over 20/30 years old,or even older-but rarely have seen them blooming.
I don't know their name unfortunately,but if someone knows its name,please let me know.
Thanks a lot for your help.

The name is Saintpaulia,better known as African violet.Native to Tanzania and southeastern Kenya.There are 6–20 species and some of them are endangered.

Special thanks to @thekitchenfairy,she knew the name of this beautiful plant.
