Same plant (Rainbow Limelight) in the summer vs. now. The blooms are getting a beautiful mauve twinge with the cooler weather.

The haul from a productive little journey to Blomsterlandet ("Flower Country") after work this evening. Plus some miscellaneous junk visible out in the balcony room, which is past due some spring garden cleanup!

My primary mission today was to pick up some tomato plants. It hopefully shouldn't be too early, since they are going in the glassed-in balcony area. No seeds started this year, and we do have the car now so it's much easier to haul all kinds of stuff around.

I grabbed two tomato plants, and this mystery vaguely banana pepper-looking variety to go into the three existing buckets.

I know the 'Totem' is supposed to be good in containers and heavy bearing for a smallish plant. Then I decided to stay sane for our current growing situation, and opted for this other bush tomato variety that I'd never heard of before.

But! Turns out that 'Vilma' has some other plans in mind.

That's it, that's how big the plants get. I like the cute little micro dwarves, and these are supposed to have a good flavor. But, somehow I think that the bucket will need to find another new occupant.

For now, at least, I think 'Vilma' will probably be better off moving up into one of these.

Besides the edibles, I also couldn't resist picking up these when I saw them.

A few unnamed African violets, and the lone Cape Primrose that I saw in the store. (Though, come to find out, these are apparently all classified as Streptocarpus now.) Not as wild about the pinks, but I'll take what I can get. All the Saintpaulias and Streptocarpus that I had (including the few luggage-smuggled from the UK) ended up dying for one reason or another, and I'm glad to get some more cheerful little blooming buddies in here.

Their new home in the living room for now. With that sad aloe and dracaena which needs some serious repotting. It's just staying too chilly in the balcony plant room still. (Which is what got most of the other ones.) Hopefully I will manage to keep these happier than the last ones!

Pretty obsessed with the little greenhouse and its contents rn. It’s probably good I don’t have more money. I would just fill the house with this stuff.

For those who wondered, the greenhouse kit comes with the plant light. It’s from BroodyStore on Etsy and they’re in Ukraine. They have other sizes.

Lapsena mun lempparikukka oli saintpaulia ja sen takia olinkin tosi ilonen, ku sain selville, että Irwin Goodmanilla on kyseisestä kukkasesta kertova laulu, Saintpaulia Reeperpaan

“Beatrice II”

She has a violet Dubbed "Beatrice II"

She remembered her Being in a bad way That was some time ago

Currently, she was unrecognizable Even blooming

She was more beautiful than before The furthest cry from the despondent and dying violent That once resided in her supervisor's office

She wasn't sure how she did it At first, this violet was revived Now, she was in bloom

Seemingly thankful for the care she's received 

At first, once a deposed and neglected princess Now, a lady dowager starting reign.

african violet update. it’s doing well, i think! i pruned off some of the old leaves and flowers and it’s--

HUH!? Where did all of these two Miniature African Violets and Polka-Dot Plant come from!? 

ok yes i bought more plants . i liked how the mini(?) african violets have lots of blooms in the middle and i wanna get a nice collection of colors. and i bought the polkadot plant because it was really pretty.

they were selling a purple shamrock as well, which is a plant i’ve had my eye on, but i didn’t end up getting it today because it was a bit large and expensive. next time though... ;-)

Saintpaulia - violette africaine

Cette jolie petite plante a rejoint mon foyer le 30 Juin 2023.

C'est une fleur non toxique pour les chats. Elle s'arrose très peu. Elle existe aussi en teinte violette plus foncée, et en rose.

J'ai jamais eu la main verte, mais ça fait un moment que je me dis qu'il faudrait que j'agrémente un peu mon balcon... Affaire à suivre 🌼🌻🌸🌷

An interesting thing happens with this African violet. The first picture is from today, the second is last November. I keep it on a windowsill and the warmer it gets outside, the more pink its flowers get. Last winter by about February the flowers were almost completely white.

What used to be my craft room is basically a plant room. Why? Blooms are why. They like this room for some reason and I'm not sure why. #offlinegoings #blooms #houseplants #schlumbergera #saintpaulia #houseplantcare #houseplants #GoodNews https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq0docQumUZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

ᴀꜰʀɪᴄᴀɴ ᴠɪᴏʟᴇᴛ '𝕊𝕡𝕖𝕔𝕜𝕝𝕖𝕕 ℍ𝕒𝕝𝕠' 𝚂𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚙𝚝𝚘𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚙𝚞𝚜 𝚜𝚎𝚌𝚝. 𝚂𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚙𝚊𝚞𝚕𝚒𝚊 As their name suggests, African violets are native to East Africa, stemming from the tropical rainforests of Tanzania and Kenya. In 1892, German colonial officer Walter von Saint Paul-Illaire identified these plants and sent seeds back to Germany. The genus came to be called Saintpaulia, though the plants have recently been re-categorized into a different genus, Streptocarpus. Despite their common name, they are not a type of violet, but they do produce vivid, violet-colored flowers. 𝓈𝓉𝒾𝓁𝓁 𝓅𝓁𝒶𝓃𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑔, 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚢𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚜𝚐𝚞𝚢𝟷𝟿🪴 #africanviolet #saintpaulia #foliage #variegatedplants #plant #africanvioletsofinstagram #plantmakepeoplehappy #plantsph (at Cavite, Philppines) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfFwhZjvl9q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
