Laura, these are so pretty. I'm partial to blues and purples so I LOVE the 2nd pic. Just gorgeous. Isn't it so exciting when they bloom? I'm waiting for one of my mini's to bloom and then I can share my pic.

Hi Mark and wife ! Wel-come to the wonderfoul world of African violets and Gesneraids ! Tell about what your growing please :))
Maureen, I love that one too it is a NOID but pretty just the same. I may have a baby of it if you would like it....Lauri
Beautiful, Lauri!
Lovely blooms! And hey, you didn't throw them on the flooor, LOL, I seem to remember a little earthquake danced them off their shelves. Maybe there's something to the theory that a shock to the rootball can stimulate bloom... But you don't have to throw them on the floor, rapping the pot on the table should do the trick... I have a couple I think need that treatment!
Heya... are we missing something here?? Lauri, you're getting married and moving to England??? Mark, we will need to know much more about you before you marry Lauri, LOL. :-)
And if I read the above exchange wrongly... well, that's how rumors start sometimes! ;-)
Hey Critter
Ask away.,............................. i will tell you anything you wish to know about me..........!!!!!
Lauri knows everything there is to know!! hehehe
she is my little princess....................... and i am deeply in love with her!!!!
LOL. Well, I am just delighted for the two of you! I was hoping I'd read your posts correctly... because she hasn't breathed a word of it on this forum, at least not that I've seen!
So, are you a fellow gardener, or just an "enabler?" And how are we going to get Lauri's vast plant collection to England and through customs?? LOL
I just went to googlemaps and looked for Caistor... are you in Linconshire? I'll try to post a link, http://local.google.com/
When is this transcontinental union?
LOL, I'm trying to be very restrained... you know we're all going to be bursting with questions when the news gets around!
Congratulations on your engagement!
