very nice...thanks for posting them. Do they disease easily?
Laureen they do not get bugs and disease as bad as some of the other house plants. African Violets are really very easy to keep as long as you water them and let them have light. They are in bloom most of the time. Click to view attachment

Very beautiful, thanks for sharing! Light from the East windows is where I have the best luck.
Our windows and the areas for the plants are separate so Meg has to use plant lights for the most part.
Shes even got them on the shelve of the clean air unit in the room we call the lab.They seem to grow well there but shes the plant person.
