Description

A friend of mine raises African Violets for a hobby. I didn't know this until he gave me a beautiful plant that he had propagated from the leaf of a plant he said was from a line over ten years old. I was amazed. I'm lucky if I can keep a plant alive for more than a year. After he told me the story, I have nurtured the plant according to his instructions. It is still alive and flourishing. It hasn't bloomed yet, but the hope has encouraged me to purchase two more African Violet plants. This is one of those I purchased. I am crossing my figures the gift from my friend will eventually bloom. Then I will paint it as well. The original oil painting was created on an 8x10 inch gallery canvas.
