I love any strep that has that extra whatever in the middle of the bloom. Bristol's Very Berry
End of April Blooms
Shenendoah's Shooting Stars and she is variegated
Why thank you SO MUCH Lin :)
Quite honestly, it's been a struggle learning and I certainly have made lots of mistakes but I'm really starting to feel encouraged now :)
I have accepted the fact that I'm certainly not a good strep propagator but that's OK as there are LOTS of gessies to choose from *lol*
2 of those 4 graduates posted above have adoptee name of Lin on them :) Would you like me to sneak them into the box with the Compacta? I would be happy to :) I should be able to mail that on Saturday. Hubby is still looking for the perfect box for me :) I think I could wrap them so they would be OK, are you ready for them? Just let me know :)
Lin, I've seen your plants deary.....they are beautiful! You are a FABULOUS grower!

Kim

Gail, AWESOME job cropping! Those are just AMAZING! Wow Lady Jane, you sure are getting good with that camera :) I'm SO proud of you. I'm thinking that first one might be Bristol's Zapped......and it's fantasy so you know I LOVE it :)
Have a wonderful day!
Kim
I think she is Grape Splash
Bristol's Zapped..........you are right Kim................I know that you all are going to get tired of this many pictures but I won't be on DG for several days.............if I don't do it now, I will forget to post them...........(dementia is setting in)
Shenendoah Something Special
Wow Gail that Grape Splash is something else! I love her markings. Wowzers!
I hope you have a wonderful trip! I bet those grandkids can't wait for Nana to get there! You are going to have SO MUCH fun!

I am in love with the Fernwood series of miniature streps......this is Minuet.........tiny foliage and tiny blooms everywhere.
Kim, this one already has your name on it!
Spin Art
an old time favorite........Spritual Corridor
don't know if this is Ruby (a baby) or the new (Iced Wine) baby
another baby from the leaf of Kim................Dibley's Gwen
This 'ain't' a pretty picture but I thought I had lost the one in Brenda's house..........I called it Strawberry Froth and then just found it is called Poochie..........first blooms on the baby
Here is the baby Iced Wine............leaf from a lady in our club
This doesn't look like Spiritual Corridor as I don't see the yellow.............????
I will show all the african violets in bloom when I get back.
Have a great week!
gail

I knew what you mean about losing your posts, Nancy.............I had two long posts this morning to compliment Kim and everyone else who has posted...........and then.............zap...........it was gone forever...............
DG must be having some big problems.............glad I am not a computer wizard or we wouldn't even have a site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The president of our local AV club told she would give me 8 months before I was sick of streps...........that was in the fall and so far................so good............not tired of them yet..........just keep making babies.............
I am doing so well on time.........that I might post a few pictures more.
I still can't grow a decent african violet, so anything with a bloom is going out of here for the Mother's Day Sale...........here are just a few........I don't even know the names of some of them as I grew them all from leaf before someone told me it was important to mark the names (LOL)
Finally I have actually gotten a halfway decent Wrangler's Pink Patches............although she doesn't have pink in her as much as I thought she would.
Here is a bigger view of her........
Newtown Shared Venture........one of my favorites but she will get too big for me
Here is her wonderful totally blue up close bloom of her
Victorian Velvet
Berry Splash
No name as she was grown from leaf
I don't know (LOL)
don't know
Kin'gs Ransom...........the biggest plant I have ever had
gotta go
I love all of the pictures, Gail. The streps are gorgeous, rich colors. The violets are wonderful of course. The variegates are my favorites, but I love them all. Here is my Berry Splash. I love it!
I am so Proud of this flower in 1995 (I Think) My grandmother pased away and she had African Violest it is wear I first started to grow them I was alway into houseplants but I thought that I had kill it and 2 years ago I had given my girlfriend up North a cutting and she had given me back a cutting from the white African Violet and today when I came home from a hard day at work my flower Bloomed I did have a little tear. must mean she is still watching me. And that was good to know

Kim that is such a pretty plant and such a beautiful meaning behind it to it for you ...that is truly special : )
Kim
How nice that you have that special memory of your g-mother that you get to look at every day. Just wonderful. Beautiful bloom too!
Our router broke today so I am on hubby's puter and I will be back tomorrow... Nancy sent me the most beautiful flowers and cuttings today... Thanks Girl..... Kim I love the white flower so pretty....
Hugs,
Susan
Kim, how wonderful to have that plant! I have some nice things from my g.mother that passed away, but I take good care of a wonderful azalea from her. It has done very well and I keep it in a container to have more control over the soil. I now you love your violet and it is a nice way to remember her. Nicknacks and things are wonderful from loved ones, but plants are alive!
Here is my azalea from her. I guess it is about five years I have had it and she has been gone for three. It has grown since I took this photo.
Your g.mother is watching and happy...
