Yea yea hip hip hooray, I am through taking all the flowers and buds off of my streps. Next come the african violets. I didn't realize that many people start disbudding the standard african violets 9 months before a show. (Trust me I am not attempting to enter an av in the show.......just practicing to see how many bloom I can get by following what I am told)

I am willing only to disbud the streps starting about 3 months ahead of February and then stop about 6 weeks before the show.
