Images Of Gratuitous Violets
The ultimate hot house survivor story. This little African Violet was rooted by Dragon_Lady from a leaf cutting. 6 months until it could be planted. It grew okay for years but no bloom. Then not once but twice it was knocked out of the window by a michevious Kitten requiring emergency care. That plant died but another leaf cutting was done. More months of waiting. Anyway on Dragon_Ladys birthday last week it finally bloomed. Yesterday I got these images of it. Canon 7D, Tamron lens. Backlit by the morning sun so I used a bit of fill flash to show the inner flower.
Tough little gal.
