Happy--

At last count--I have 65 AV's--ALL sizes. None of them have bloomed yet--
but I have high hopes that maybe this year I will see some.
I never intended to have so many--but I cannot help propagating the from leaves.

My AV's used to sit on shelves right against my LR and DR windows.
WAY too cold in the winter--the glass is right there.
So--this year--I decided to do something different. First--I re-potted them all
in a fantabulous AV Mix (made only in Canada) not sold here....
I chanced upon it at the GH I shop at. They had gotten a shipment and had some left-overs.

I put a card table in the far corner of my DR, bought a hanging light, put a 100W
CFL bulb in it and hung it above the table-full of Violets. Not sure if they get enough
light--but they all seem to be doing OK. They are growing..even the itsy-bitsy ones.

Hoping for some bloom--very badly.....Gita

Looking good to me!
