Spring in Bloom II

Since the African Violets on my dining room keep gracing me with lovely flowers I thought I'd share them with you!

African Violet in bloom.

I so appreciate the textures of this flower :) The white petals glisten in the sun as if they were made of glitter!

I hope you enjoy the pictures and that your spring is off to a wonderful start! I so enjoy watching plants grow  - I wish I had caught a few snapshots of the tulips around the neighborhood that had sprung up... maybe next year since their petals have already wilted.

Spring is in bloom....

Last week my Grandma passed away, this had our family road tripping to Iowa and back again within a few days. Spring sprung up here in VA while we were gone and we were welcomed with open tulips and flowering trees galore!

Inside the house was a beautiful African Violet that was given to me by a prior co-worker, Juliet. This is the first flowering (ever!) and I wanted to share! 

Clearly Juliet has a green thumb as this lovely was grown by a leaf snipped from another African Violet plant. I tried to do this but ended up drowning the plant and then it rotted away :( (ew, I know). Maybe one day I'll get back to trying my hand at these lovelies! I think they are so pretty! I love the leaves too! So soft! :D

This weekend I hope to transplant a peonie plant of mine that used to *love* the front yard and it was flourishing! But then I moved it... and it's in a shaded area... I know I know... not a good thing for peonies but I'm going to fix that because I want my peonie flowers back! They make me happy okay! :) 

I'll try and take some pics of the peonie transplant adventure to share later. For now, please enjoy the first African Violet bloom of the year from me! :)
