Remember 2 blogs ago...from all the way back in November of 2013? I reported on a plant that had suffered from some stem rot. It was nearly a lost cause, really. I did my best to try to salvage what was left, but it ended up being barely more than a stub in the soil. Well, guess what? It survived! How cool is that?! It just goes to show you that these are tough little plants when you understand how they work. Even with a tiny bit of green, there is still hope! Since this little guy has been in a baggie for a year and a half, he's a little rough looking and does have some discoloration from moisture build up and temperature fluctuations. But, new growth is strong and fresh, and the plant is well on its way to a complete recovery!

Hi Amy, Vera in California here. Glad to see your posts again :) Congratulations on finally getting your move done. I'm sure you'll be busy with the new house getting it how you'll like it, fun and tiring! Plants can last amazingly long in baggies, I know! I've had some in hibernation for almost a year. Looking forward to ordering again from you. Again Congrats on the house!

Hi Vera!! Thanks so much. It is so good to hear from you, and I was just so sorry to hear about Sunshine. I lost my little parakeet Echo a few months ago, and I know how devastating it is. But, the violets have been good therapy, and I'm so happy to be getting back into it. You don't realize how much you miss it until you've not had it for a while. Life is still very crazy but I'm hoping to post more often.
