This African Violet was a gift when my first child was born. It still blooms every year, like it did in that hospital room in 1980. (Thank you, Jan!)
A few years ago, a neighbor offered me some cuttings that were beginning to sprout. I accepted them gladly, but was disappointed when they grew, but didn't flower the following winter.
This January, just as I was beginning to wonder if they would ever bloom, they surprised me with these beautiful flowers.
Life is sometimes like that - just when you're giving up on something you've hoped for, there it is!
