Keeping It In The Family

A IS FOR?




AFRICAN VIOLET

Along with my mum's talent with the needle and paintbrush I wish I had inherited her genes when it comes to growing houseplants. One look from me and they usually shriek in horror and curl up their toes in due course. Mum however is a dab hand with all sorts of houseplants especially African violets and orchids. I am delighted to say that that after a couple of unsuccessful attempts, I seem to be doing better with getting this specimen established. I bought a little cutting home with me in April and now look !
