My paternal grandmother esp. had a knack for it, and even her cacti were these enormous creatures that glowed with health. Here at work we keep african violets. They love the flourescent lighting, and people really seem to enjoy them when they come in. (I still want an office cat, but that will be a cold day in you know where, so the plants'll do for now! ;-)<BR/>TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211012004316276379.post-83391375435866191602009-02-20T07:40:00.000-05:002009-02-20T07:40:00.000-05:00My grandmother has quite a few African violets and...My grandmother has quite a few African violets and has promised someday to give them to me. I was frightened at this because some of them are ones HER mother gave to her and with all that history it puts quite a weight on someone who has never had one before.<BR/><BR/>Well, I got an African violet two weeks ago that has beautiful purple and white flowers.
