My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

African Violets

What a Pleasant Surprise!

11 years ago

A few days ago, my mother surprised me with the most beautiful African Violets I've ever seen! Ah, I'm so excited! I even know which ones I want to cross haha.


I take LOTS of pictures, so it may look like I'm "spamming" but these aren't even half of the pictures I took. I can't help it - I have a photo album on my phone with 334 pictures of my African Violets (and I just got my first one in May).


Who needs a box of chocolates, when you can get a box of African Violets!?!


My favorite violet part 1.


My favorite violet part 2.


This one's a nice peach-y color.


This lil' cutie is from Home Depot!


I've had this violet for awhile now, but it's truly sprouted into such a beautiful plant (it was so small when I got it).


I love this one! It's leaves are nice, and the blooms are stunning.


Another picture of the "oldie" but goodie (better lighting).


The plant from Home Depot lost all of it's blooms (which is okay). It was apparently the only plant at the store that wasn't dead.


Blooming!!!!


My favorite violet part 3.


Feeding time for the family!


My favorite violet part 4.


This one is my second favorite<3

...And last but not least... FAMILY PHOTO!


I hope you guys didn't mind my little gallery - I just can't help myself when it comes to pictures, haha!

    BTW have you put all of these photos in your IDEABOOK on your profile page? Label it something like "My Plant Photos" and anyone who goes to your page can look at it. If you go to my page you will see what I mean. It isn't hard to do! Rosie
