Everything seems to be blooming at our cozy little house … both outside and inside. So thought I would snap photos of a few of my much loved African Violets. Most of you know that I have been raising Violets for years and years. Still get a thrill whenever they bloom … just never gets old.

Eh.. Those are perdy! Don’t get them near me though, I kill house plants.
My poor orange tree is down to 3 leaves. Well.. It is attempting to grow new ones.. Think I’ll move it into a larger pot, ensure it’s death and whatnot. ;)

So very pretty. DH loves violets, but unfortunately so do Lucy Fur and Satan’s Child (Satie), our 2 cats.
He buys ‘em, they eat ‘em.

Green Thumb!
Lovely!
After our move here, mine all died except for one that lasted 4 years and then the cat had a salad for lunch!
Haven’t been able to get another one going since, and it is not the car’s fault!!
Great pics GranT!

Thanks they are one of my all time favorites!!! Stumbled on them when my daughter’s nursery was being “created” ... I thought the flowers and colors were so pretty. And 28 years later, I’m still hooked.
Bon, be patient sometimes it takes a while for them to bloom. As long as the leaves look healthy, then eventually they will bloom. They also like a little warm water … :-)
