    You have a beautiful profusion of blooms there.
    AV never cease to amaze me, they have such a variety
    of shapes and colors. Just when I think I'll try again to raise one, I recall just how many I've killed over the years and I back off.

    WOW, Your photos are getting better and better, Gail! You;ve captured these blooms so beautifully. They almost look unreal, like paintings. Great job.

    Little beauties - each and every one. I must admit that I have a 'soft spot' for African violets. :-D

    They are just gorgeous and I do love African violets but I have never been able to keep them alive.

    I have always had good luck with violets. The key is to have bright filtered light, moderate watering and regular fertilizing. I am also lucky to have a spare bedroom with good light where I keep them when they are not in bloom. Appreciate all you comments.
