Painted little blooms, very popular plant.

Wow, I’ve learned a new flower today-African violet 🌸
They are indeed full of pleasure to watch & grow.
Is it edible? I love decorating my foodies with edible vivid colors of flowers.

Thanks for sharing Joan!

Not to my knowledge Joy, found this site explaining what you can use...

African violets are NOT viola and are NOT considered edible. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE AFRICAN VIOLETS FOR SWEET VIOLETS IN THESE OR OTHER RECIPES. Beware also of look-alikes and sound-alikes, as many plants are nicknamed "violet" because of their color. Source

Yeah, they remind me of viola edible flowers.
Thank you Joan!

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

What’s haiku? 😁

"Haiku" is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme.

Pleasure, there are some lovely flowers to use in a variety of ways.

thats a pretty flower, like the first one the most

Almost look to good to be true. Nature is a powerful artist.

Lovely little flowers and good care instructions here Lady Joan!
Blessings!

My Dad and Sister-in-law are great with keeping their violets alive, learn tricks over time.

You have some gorgeous flowers love those colors purples and blues are my favorite colors :)

I was amazed to see variations they have now.

I remember going to the garden Centre with my parents when young and the variety today is so much more than way back then
Some of the garden centers here are so big it’s like a lone event to visit them lol

Our garden centers are cozy little places to enjoy nature, enjoy refreshments or light meals, with childrens play area.

Thats sounds a really nice way they do the garden Centers there, I would prefer that to the ones here

Those are beautiful flowers.
Vibrant colors.
Purple stands so much out.
Keep on postin

Vibrant purple/violet the second photo were the ones we saw when I was young, so many new ones now in local nursery, amazing!

The vibrant ones remind me of flamboyant personalities..........showing off..........decorating the world and drawing attention.... a treat!
Then there is the 'plain Jane' royal blue one and although beautiful it looks unassuming amongst the others. I am thankful that lots of people are like that!
Thanks for the reminder of the time when we all had our collection of African violets.

The vibrant ones actually caught my eye, almost surreal in the colours, time to try indoor plants once again.

All look nice but the blue and teal is amazing

Eye catching colours @psyceratopsb
