Ruffles

"Decked out in ruffles, an African violet dances into bloom."

African violets have been a constant vision in our family. My mom made pretty ceramic pots for them with a porous container that fits into another container filled with water. This way they have constant moisture, but do not get drowned! 


My dad is the one who nurtures them and they always seem to have a glorious array of blooms in various colors. One of the tricks is to give them plant food on a regular basis. My African violets don't do as well as my parents because I don't have dad living here. Chuckles! I tend to get really busy and forget to give them food. 


I loved getting up close and personal with this bloom. The little buds were also fun to paint.

Do you grow African violets?

Wishing you a blooming sort of day!


Warmly,

Debbie
