We have a house guest here in our Georgia home! My dad gave me this cute little Lady Bug pot a while back as we continue with our Lady Bug Game. Last summer, I chose a violet plant for Lady Bug to cradle. I brought Lady into the house for the winter and look at what she has given me in return.
A beautiful Bloom! This violet has not bloomed since the day I placed it into the pot.
And now she has given me a most beautiful bloom to enjoy for the winter while being my HOUSE GUEST, In the Garden.... Note: Speaking of house guests, we will have guests in the human form (as well as a furry 4 legged one) staying with us for the next week so I will be off blogging for a bit. I will pop in here when time allows. I know I said I would be getting the second part of our cruise pictures for you to enjoy but I don't have the time to load all the pics for now. I will get them up as soon as possible...

Skeeter, Your violet must be happy. The ladybug pot is so cute, have a enjoyable time with your guest.
ReplyDeleteSkeeter,
ReplyDeleteGuess that violet does like you after all! Meg has a huge one in a 12 inch pot that she has had for over 10 years.
Skeeter, That's a very pretty violet. And, if I'm not mistaken, it looks like another flower bud tucked beneath it. I'm sure this is the start of something big. Cute pot, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower! I can't seem to grow African Violets to save my life..
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet blooms! And so welcome, too, during these dreary days. The ladybug pot is adorable; this would make me smile every time I saw it, blooms or not. Enjoy your houseguests!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bloom Skeeter! You have fun with all your houseguests and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGood morning all and it is a rainy day in Georgia! Argggggg....
ReplyDeleteThis violet has another bud so soon I will have a second bloom to enjoy....
Have a good day and off to visit with family now....
Sorry for all the rain Skeeter and do not worry about the cruise part 2 as we will enjoy it when it is there. Just have fun and enjoy your in laws.
ReplyDeleteLuck of the Lady Bug!! Beautiful Violet...
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty Violet! Have a nice visit with your guests :)
ReplyDeleteYou know what they say about houseguests... they are like fish and begin to stink after three days. Just kidding. I love houseguests and wish I was having some right now. Have fun!

I absolutely love African Violets. What a beautiful little flower. I hope there are more to come.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved those violets. Have a great time with your house guests.

A few days off from blogging is always a good thing. You relax and enjoy your visitors (and your violets) and we'll be here when you get back.
ReplyDeleteLovely violet Skeeter. Love that Lady Bug pot.
ReplyDelete4 of my violets are blooming. All different colors.
Enjoy your guest.
Had a tornado hit in my town. Very bad weather all day.
Lola, Be safe and stay out of harm's way! The weather has been most bad today indeed. I hope no one was hurt.
ReplyDeleteEveryone have a great evening. Skeeter will be in and out as she can.
Fun house guest! I haven't tried growing African violets since my teen years, and most of the time they seemed to be just foliage plants since I couldn't give them decent light. Congratulations on the first flower.
