That's a wonderful story! Congratulations on a beautiful plant and flower!

Good story! Time to put leaves down for next year ;-p
I just share a birthday with my twin :-)

Karin

Thanks to everyone for your kind words,and for your advice on this forum,its because of all of you that I could be able to reach this far,this forum is truly a blessing.ðÂÂÂ.Velleta

Velleta,

First---Happy Birthday!!! :)

Great story. Although we love all of our plants, some are more special for sentimental reasons. I am glad you found us so we could help this special one survive. Make sure you take leaves from this one and grow new babies so you will never be without it!

I share my birthday with the Queen although, I am quick to add, she had it first!

Linda

Thanks so much Linda,I still have the other sucker too,but its smaller so because of limited space I am just gonna keep the two for now,I do plan to put down another two leaves in the near future.same birthday as the Queen,wow that's really special and I would have guess she got it first,Linda is way to perky,active,funny,and a very beautiful,even though we are as young as we feel,the queen is still very beautiful too.ðÂÂÂvelleta

Velleta, I love your story and your violet, too. I have enjoyed several of your posts here. You are an inspiration to me! I'm so happy that your gift is thriving!
Sue-who came to this forum thinking she knew a little about violets....and soon realizing it was very little!

Aww,thanks Sue.i feel very honoured and humbled by your compliment.And trust me when I say this"no matter how much we think we know,we all are always learning".from our mistakes,ours successes,each other and even by accident.i have learnt so much since I came to this forum and have even been able to shear with my other friends from home.i sometimes say to myself"what took you so long" lol.i am just happy I finally figure it out.its one of my greatest pleasure to just stand in my green room and admire my plants,now my DH thinks I might be going off the deep end just staring at them,BUT they are one of the reasons keeping me from the deep end(our secret)ðÂÂÂ.Velleta

Velleta,

You always had the knack, you just needed a little tweaking! Don't let your husband discourage you; he just doesn't get it. It's so nice to have a peaceful area full of beautiful plants for a refuge especially for those of us who live in the north.

Great story!

Linda

Thanks again Linda,as for the husband,NOT A CHANCE.vellleta

Velleta,
Sending good thoughts of encouragement your way.
People with June birthdays are full of joy but also
hard workers. You are the kind of person, when life
gives you lemons, you make lemonade, as the
expression goes!
All the best, Joanne

Velleta,

You go, girl!!! :)

Linda

Thanks everyone,Joanne seems you know me very wellðÂÂÂ.
Linda I have you to thank for being successful,and everyone else here. Velleta
