I’ve been growing African violets about 30 years.  Despite what some people say about violets being difficult to grow, at one time I grew several thousand.  Now I grow about a hundred.  I’m a member of Tampa AVS, African Violet Council of Florida, Dixie African Violet Society and African Violet Society of America.

I’ve been growing African violets about 20 years and I’m also a member of the Tampa African Violet Society, the African Violet Council of Florida, the Dixie African Violet Society, and the African Violet Society of America.  My African Violet collection is grown indoors and under fluorescent lights. I went to a show 20 years ago and became fascinated by the beautiful blooms and the range of foliage from the deepest green to the lighter variegated foliage. I needed to learn how to grow and I continue learning and sharing with other growers.
