My first post with photo! I haven't been here very long, but I wanted to show off this violet. I have had it in an east facing window self watering in its original pot with a wick put in and then jammed into a small glass pitcher. I've had violets in this off and on for years, but this current occupant has been blooming nonstop for two years. Once, about 18 months ago, it got down to only one or two blooms, but since that time it has simply made my office a much pleasanter place with those happy flower faces smiling in the sun. These flowers have made me so happy that I've started a miniature and semi miniature collection in the same window. :)
