And Now for a Word from my Violets . . .
Six of my plants went to the Illinois State African violet show this weekend . . . and they had a good time :-)
This is Gail. It took Best Vintage Violet. It's mine.

This is s. ionantha subspecies orbicularis var. purpurea (it's a species plant, hence the long wacky name). It took Best Species. It's mine.

This is Mid-America. It took Best in Show and Best Standard. It's mine
==:-D <-- all="" br="" end="" hair="" happy="" me="" my="" on="" standing="" with="">
I had two other plants, both got blues and one was best in its class. And there were other beautiful winners, but I'm pretty sleepy, so I'll post more, later :-)

Michelle, I might have to share my ribbons with my cousin, who watered for me while I was away!
And yes, Bethany, I think you met all of these girls :-)
