Houseplants.....


Violets are so great as you can ignore them and it makes them bloom.  I had not watered them for a couple of weeks or more and they thought they were experiencing a drought.  Once watered they give me this kind of response.

Your violets are a pretty color.

I want to thank you for telling me to water mine once a week, as most people over water them and then they croak. I give them about 1/4 c. put into the plate that they are sitting on and the water gets sucked up into the plant. So far that's working and I've got blooms. Do they bloom all year?

Enjoy your week ~ FlowerLady

Beautiful flowers and pretty color, Larry.
I have a green african plant which does not need a lot of water and another exotic one which need a lot. It has big leaves.T
