One of my African Violets that is currently in bloom. It is also one of the most reliable ones that blooms regularly and one the easiest to keep happy. Also one of my favourite because of all of the above.

I also think it is the only one I actually bought! All the rest I have I either way received as a gift, or grew from a leaf cutting given to me.
A while back it had such terrible mealybugs, that I had to throw the mother plant away. I took 2 healthiest heaves to propagate and I was almost flooded with babies. If I remember correctly I got about 16 little plants out of those two. Of course I kept just one and gave away the rest. Nothing better than make friends and family happy with a simple gift :)
