    Nice variety. I tried growing them once long time ago. Haven't attempted it since. Maybe I should give it a try again.

    You have a good variety -- all beautiful and healthy, too. Do you grow them under lights?

    My favorite is the one with purple, ruffled petals (second from bottom). Gorgeous!

    I love violets...very pretty pictures.

    I had the perfect spot at our last home and now I really don't have a very good spot for them anymore. I have thought about trying them again...

    An excellent group of African Violets. The last one looked intriguing does it have a name?
