AFRICAN VIOLET DAY..



Been working with my African Violet collection today, planting and re-potting.
I planted about ten baby plants and 15 leaves.  Like I need more plants but I
can't bring myself to throw them out;

WHAT'S MY NAME ?





African Violets use to come with names but not anymore.  Anyway not the ones you
buy in your local stores like Walmart or Lowes.  I have five of this little lady and
have been trying to find out her name.  She is five petals with purple on the edge of a
white bloom and dark green leaves.
  I started all of these from my Mother's plant and it was a very
easy one to start with a leaf.  Just wish I could find out her name.

AFRICAN VIOLETS...

Another 6" African Violet I found at Lowes, but a different Lowes from the
last one I posted.  This is a NOID (no id) but it is still very pretty.  I will
keep looking for the name.  I have posted it on the AV site so
maybe someone will know the name.

AFRICAN VIOLETS...



My new African Violet I found at Lowes...surprise, surprise!
I think I lucked out, they hadn't even unpacked it yet and
I opened the box and helped myself.  My friends on the AV site
I go to said it was Optimara Modesty.  It is a 6" plant
with beautiful red color on the under leaf.

AFRICAN VIOLETS...




Working on my AV and repotting a  few of them and doing some
leaf cuttings.  One plant had so many suckers that I had 13 plants when I
was done with it.
