VIOLETS ARE WHITE




Last Spring we decided to get ourselves back into growing African Violets. Horticulturists we are not, but we have always enjoyed house plants and have been succesful growing these beautiful plants in the past. Melissa Twins is a proliphic violet that has been flowering almost constantly since we brought it home. It always flowers in pairs, which explains its unusual name. This last flowering brought us 5 pairs of twin white flowers highlighted by a unique light purplish hue in the midle of each of the sections of each flower. Another one of Nature's wonders we are so blessed to be able to enjoy. JIR
