Recently I have been touched by lots of reminders of springs. Like most girls I love Flowers.
My Mom gave me this precious violet. The scary thing...is its real...I have a terrible time keeping anything growing, and succeed much more with plastic plants that just need a bit of dusting.
As all great Mom's do, she had thought ahead...She got me a self watering flower pot!
All I have to do is fill up the outer container and let it go! What a ingenious design. I LOVE IT!
I have added watering my little flowering friend to my weekly cleaning schedule and hope that we have a long life together!
Diesel even likes to stop and smell the flowers!
Wish me luck!!!
Your african violets are beautiful,mine do not have any blooms right now.
ReplyDeleteThe self-watering flower pot is a great idea. Leave it to your Mom:)
ReplyDeleteAfrican violets are nice as you have flowering plants in the winter too! I have most of mine in a bay window. It's getting around to that time of year where I de-leaf and repot-yes, I have that many.
ReplyDeleteBe sure to add a few drops of AV food in the water too!
Lovely plant and the self-watering pot makes it easy to give the proper amount of moisture.

Hello;
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to drop in and say Hello. This is my first visit to your blog. I'm enjoying my visit. Your dogs Opie & Diesel are adorable.
Nice African violets too. I've actually never attempted to grow them, my sister-in-law used to have about 50 of them sitting in her window.
