African Violets

For once, one of the flowers that I am showcasing is one that hasn't been cultivated by Will, but by me.  I have been growing violets for years now.  Several of plants have lived in 4 different houses here in DC.  The secret are the violet pots-- so if you forget to water one week, they are still fine with the water sitting in the pot. 

I love this violet with the streaks of purple in the pink petals.  This one has not blossomed in a year, so it is nice to see these again.
