African Violets

When I was little, my mother grew African violets in our sunroom. They like a lot of light. She drew several pictures of them. Here is a picture of one of the pastels she made. It hangs in my dining room.
















Recently my friend gave me an African violet. When I got it it just had leaves. Within a couple of weeks it had seven buds. Six of them have already bloomed, and the seventh one looks like it will bloom soon. Here is a picture I took the other day.
