"Sylvia" above is "Matilda's" daughter the one I was given. She grew into 4 separate plants in this one square red pot and for almost 2 years has been in steady bloom...all 4 plants. It has been difficult to photograph her to show you just how big she really is. Thats how she looked exactly a month ago until today.....
I've been unsuccessful in rooting her for my mother and eldest son Geoff who are so amazed with her and wanted their own plant. So tonight I bit the bullet and carefully separated her into 3 pots. It was rather hard to do (she was so pretty) but she needed to share her love. Now there is one for each of them and the last 2 for me. NOW you can see how big she really WAS in that one pot.
Below she is in 3 different pots!
The one below is my part of "Sylvia" now. One is a smaller plant and and the other one was stretching out of the pot instead of straight up. I'm sure they will straighten up and shift towards the light from the window as they grow in.
I called the others 2 plants, Bonnie and Claudia (because I don't think a Clyde type would flower ... *s*)
This will be mom's "Bonnie"... and will be a Mother's Day gift. My mom will be sooooo happy to have the Violet because hers haven't flowered for her like this one.
and this is Geoff's "Claudia"....
and this is Geoff's "Claudia"....
They have water drippings on them because I gave them their weekly warm water sprinkling. They LOVE it.
Until I give them to their new homes I'll be happy admiring their loveliness in their 3 separate containers.
Have a happy day....Judi xoxo
