African Violets

I love seeing these in bloom on my kitchen countertop especially during a snowy winter.

Yes they are so enjoyable to look at and I love touching the fuzzy leaves. I just need to be mindful not to get water on the leaves and water/feed from the bottom only. I can see it already has a few babies I can separate and start new plants with.

I only had this one for two weeks. It's blooming very well and I'm not touching it, LOL!

Tricky little devils. I had a beauty near a door and it had all kinds of weather and just the right amt. of light, but I finally managed to end it by too much of something. It was too big! And I wanted it to be smaller!

Wells, I know what you mean. I don't want this plant to get too much bigger. I think I would eventually "pot-up" one of the baby off shoots and discard the parent plant.
