Lovely plant & blooms! This is also a keeper in my house. I understand your need to downsize as I'm going through that process now. . . too many plants for my growing area. I have eliminated some varieties but more tough decisions will follow as new acquisitions come into bloom.

That is a very fine African Violet. I like the semi cupped frilly blossoms. Very pretty!

This violet looks so elegant! Thanks for sharing!

I'm not ready to stop acquiring yet. :) However, once all the mouse ears are large enough to pot up, I may change my mind. Lol

Gorgeous!This variety is on my wish list for a year, now it is confirmed to order one. Thank you for showing this photo!

Beautiful Red to focus on. It looks so well-grown, with a balance of richly colored green leaves and a full head of blooms. Seems that you have the knack. Do keep us posted on your favorites. My "best red" is Bob Serbin, but I have not grown Red Rocket yet.
I also plan to downsize. Here is a pic of part of the major AV room. Most everything got neglected this winter. Not enough supplemental light or warmth.

A Cora with white bloom in winter.

Kitchen corner. Neglect rewarded me with many blooms.

Finally, a corner of the living room.

Looks like you have a similar number of plants as I do.

I've conceded that I just can't/don't adequately take care of that many plants.

You have some nice set-ups & lots of lovely plants! I had to vacate my plant room this winter because the room isn't insulated & my space heater couldn't keep up, so those plants are crammed into other areas. When warmer weather returns & I can use that room, I will have plenty of space but since I will face the same situation next winter, I need to eliminate.
If you watch Annie's podcast allaboutafricanviolets.com her theme in the latest episode is all about limiting your collection. Lots of good advice for those of us facing that problem.

Thanks for sharing, Aegis and Terri,
When the Group crosses the line from being relaxing to a burden, then it is time to reduce the size of the collection. Annie's podcasts are enjoyable. Sometimes, in order to get started on a collection, you have to decide what you want to collect.
I go through this downsizing every few making some neighbors happy.
I gave away four a couple of days ago, but today, another four came to me by way of a friend who is going away for a while.
Here are the "mice." Joanne
