My first babies are blooming!

9 years ago

These are my first babies taken from cuttings in July of last year. Both are unknown varieties and there's a third purple one that didn't make it into the picture. The mother plant of the purple one is the first plant I'd purchased after probably a 15 year absence from raising violets.

These little guys are tough as they survived lots of neglect and moving over the past year. In March my little girl and I moved in with my grandmother to help care for her and soon realized that my violets would have to come along too as my husband has no problem watering my other plants but is intimidated by the violets. During one long hospital stay they went over 10 days without water and were pretty wilted when we came back. With a little TLC they bounced right back!
