2.27 african violet

This will break the chain of red photos I've had lately, but I have another bloomer. I adore African violets almost as much I as do lilies and my dining room is perfect for them. I have a baker's rack on the far wall away from the window and my violets live there. They get a bright but diffuse light and a fairly steady temperature. I have discovered over the years that violets do well under my regime of benign neglect and I can generally coax them into blooming several times a year.

This one is a charmer I acquired the first year we moved to NY, from the local violet society's annual show and sale. I need to look around and see if I can find a notice of this year's show - it should be coming up in March I think.

I am exceedingly pleased. My professor asked for the papers to be turned in by midnight Wednesday and as of Friday morning at 9 am he has graded mine and turned my grade in I think he technically has until a week from now to turn the grades in, so i wasn't actually expecting any notice until next week sometime. And I did get an A in the class, which didn't hurt my feelings at all.
