Joene,

Happy Bloom Day! Your african violets are so bright & cheery. They remind me of my mother-in-law, she always had them growing all around home. Thanks for giving me a happy memory to start my day.

I love African violets and these photos entice to go shopping.

I love my African violets, except for the fact that they're better at catching hair than are black clothing articles. You have some gorgeous colours in yours.

Beautiful blooms for Bloom Day!

I'm reminded of the late Mrs. Weldon who grew and sold African Violets in our town when I was a teenager. She kept them in an east window. They made a lovely gift and still do, 50 years later.

Hi,
First time visitor and when I saw the 'petting the african violet' link I thought whaaaa??? That was funny and I love your little blossoms. I have a few AFs in my kitchen window at the moment, though none of them have taken the initiative to flower!

I love those sweet little ruffled blooms. When the last of my African violets died many years ago from neglect, I didn't replace them. You've enticed me into thinking about going shopping for some again. We certainly need something to cheer us up in the winter!

i love violets, they remind me of my mom with hers on her garden window...funny i never grow them myself...thanks for adding the link to petting your plants, it was a hoot!

The ruffled blooms on your violets are so sweet--certainly helpful in getting through this winter. When all my African violets died several years ago--due to neglect--I didn't bother to replace them. You've enticed me to consider shopping for some again. Happy Bloom Day!

my great aunt used to swear that keeping a worm in a pot of african violets helped them to flower again - I don't know if it really worked or not but my mum used to have us searching in the garden for worms for her pots of violets.
