African Violets

I was given two African Violets about 8 years ago by a student whose grandmother raised them and was needing to give some away ... as you will see, once you start raising them it's easy to get carried away. Anyway, I enjoyed those violets very much (and still have one of them going strong although it's been split into two different pots). Last spring I thought I would try to start some of my own. I purchased a few leaves from EBay, looked up the YouTube video on how to start them ... and after a lot of wondering when and if they would grow, now have a number of African Violet babies ...
