As a kid, I used to root cuttings from my mom's African Violets, but I never had the patience/diligence to grow them to blooming. So even though it isn't rocket science, I am excited about this first one to bloom for me!
The original plant was brought to us by a friend when my wife went into labor. I rooted a cutting from it more than a year ago. Then I had to move the majority of my house plants and terrariums to a friend's house, where I in turn neglected them.
My friend offered to water them, but I refused because I wanted the terrariums watered "right", which of course rarely happened because I didn't do it. Long story short, there were few survivors, one of which was this African Violet I grew from a cutting. After several months of recovering from my neglect, these are the first blooms for this plant. The color is actually deep purple, not blue. Thanks for looking!
