The most enjoyable aspect of this wonderfully long video was that you both let Annette talk freely. So delightful to hear a passionate collector talk about their plants! Great video..

Excellent! I have grown violets since I was 12 yrs old, I'm 77 now. The first time I saw them was at my aunts house in Virginia. Instantly fell in love. She gave me leaves. Later in my 30s, I had 350 at one time. Now only about 20. Just enough to keep my fingers dirty. 😂 great presentation. I do mine the same as you. I have wicked for years and grow under lights. Thanks for your time. Look forward to more.

Wow, that was amazing. So much learned, that lady is truly the expert. I also began immediately wondering about my home conditions. I have grown them, and lost them, over many years. Loved this episode! Thanks!

What a wonderful video. I remember having them in my childhood, it was a popular house plant back in russia in the 70s and 80s :) Now i think maybe i should give them a go. They are so utterly collectable :)

[@velerialangbehn6088]

They are addictive. 😄

That was amazing. My mum always had African violettes i have her last one i thought i was doing ok with it, but there are a few things i could do. Thanks for the inspirational and educational video. I belong to a gardening friends group here in Melbourne, and there is always something interesting going on, days to work on the Garden and social activities to attend. So worth joining a plant/gardening group.

Excellent information thank you . I’m loving these specialized growers series, I now grow begonias from seed . Can you find a Clivia grower , I’ve had a plant for years but it never flowers !

[@thehorti-culturalists]

We have a Clivia grower in our sights but he doesn't know yet! Regards Stephen
