African Violets

I've been growing African violets for almost ten years now. In fact, I still have my first African violet. None of my violets have names, so they're all noids, but I still enjoy them, and they bloom for me often. They like to dry out in order to bloom, and they like to be in an east-facing window.

This was my first African violet. I've had this plant for ten years, and it's just starting its bloom cycle again.



This next violet was a rescue, and it's very pretty.



I've had this violet for three years. Excuse the cat hairs on everything.



This one I've had for four years. It's difficult to capture the true blue of this violet. It's more violet than blue.


My cape primrose "Ink Blot" is also blooming, and it's putting on a grand show. It currently has twelve flowers! (Again, excuse the cat hair.)
