I have 10 African Violet plants, many have multiple plants growing in one pot... they are all in bloom!!
Very easy plant to grow... some of mine are over 30+ years old... they are in clay pots sitting in a bowl or tray... I water from the bottom once a week and never fertilize!!
Memories. When I think of Mothering Sunday I think of little bunches of violets like this. In Landbeach, our childhood village at church on that day all the children would line up the isle to receive a little bunch of violets picked from the hedgerows to give to our mothers. When I caught the scent of these this morning I immediate thought of my grandmother (my mother's mother) for she sometimes would give us sweets scented of violets.
Thank you so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep some sort of touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued.
I'm afraid I am not able to take on any more members to follow or to post to groups.
Hummingbirds are common in my neighborhood because the trails nearby provide a very suitable habitat for them. Plus, many folks keep vibrant gardens in their backyard where flowers and nectar are plenty. I'm sure this little fellow is living his (her?) best life.
The Violet-crowned Hummingbird was the main reason we visited the Paton Center for Hummingbirds during our visit to Arizona this month and we were not disappointed. Most of my photos didn’t show off the violet crown but a little persistence paid off and in this shot the bird lives up to its name.

These insects are called dropwings because of their habit of immediately lowering their wings after landing on a perch. Males of this species are violet-red with red veins in the wings while females are yellow and brown. Both sexes have red eyes.

With time off work, but terrible weather, I've been trying to improve these indoor shots...a way to go yet I think, but it's fun!
Well... I still have a few hummingbird pictures from my August trip to Arizona.
This is from Beatty's Guest Ranch, Miller Canyon, AZ.

Thank you for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
Be they ever so humble: tiny violet woodsorrel wildflowers, growing on the edge of a sidewalk, spotlighted in dappled sunlight.

▶"Oxalis violacea —the violet wood-sorrel— is a perennial plant and herb in the family Oxalidaceae. It is native to eastern and central United States, and eastern Canada, clustering in open places in damp woods, on stream banks, and in moist prairies.
During April and May, oxalis violacea produces flower umbels [multiple flowers from a common stalk] with up to 19 flowers on stems, 3½ to 9 inches tall (9–23 cm). The flowers are pink to lavender to violet (occasionally white), ⅓ to ¾ inches wide (1–2 cm) with white to pale green centers above the foliage. The three-part leaves have heart-shaped leaflets, similar in appearance to small clovers such as the shamrock."

I don't usually see them setting still.
I love the contrasting colors on these birds. This shot doesn't really show the violet above the tail.
