Blooms

Some months ago while visiting Mutti, I noticed her African violets and asked if I could take a leaf to root. Sure, she said. You can make plants from the leaf??

Of course you can. It's fun to take a clipping of something and make a new plant. (It seems I am related to my mother after all.) It's fun too, to discover something growing in our little garden, recognize it's not a weed, and let it grow a bit to see what happens. There are a few things we now enjoy that just came up from wherever - serindiptous.

So, the African violets finally grew leaves, and finally got old enough to make flowers. Nature is pretty amazing. All this from two leaves. Wow.
