Welcome to my Sunroom

Hi Everyone! 

A LOT of great feedback on the previous episode –

particularly in the African Violet Nerds group on Facebook.  Thank you!

Tips and Treasures

I was an absolute talking head last week, so I’ll do my best

to keep it a bit shorter this time.

* The Great Tray Flip . . .* My collection is down to 33 varieties.  This feels pretty good to me! (I said

32 in the podcast, but found Smooch Me!)* I apologize for not getting the Limit Your Collection

notes up for you.  I was trying to

pull some photos to go with them, and – as seems usual lately – time got away

from me.  * With spring shows on their way, if you are growing for

show, NOW is the time to be making some decisions and doing some repotting in

preparation for entering your plants! * There is an excellent Pre-Show Schedule in Pauline

Bartholomew’s Growing to Show.

A Look at the Stands

A few changes on the stands, and at least a few of the plants

have been repotted.
