African Violets

Central Florida

10 years ago

Hello all!

My husband will be on a cycling trip to central Florida in late January and would like to bring back some violets for me! Any suggestions of places to send him?

Hi Jodi
Here is a video I like to watch, it was posted in 2010 regarding a trip to Harmony Gardens and Violets in Central Florida. It is on You Tube. "Violets from Harmony.wmv" posted by John Regan.

No doubt, others will have more current info!

I love that video too, Joanne. I tried your link, but it didn't work for me. Here is the link I copied and pasted while watching, I hope it works.:

Harmony Greenhouses are commercial, they do not sell to public, you need to have a commercial license to purchase from them.
FL clubs use to buy from them when they have Show and Sale - so check on FL clubs show schedules ( in AVSA.org) - so you can try to piggy-back with them.

Thanks, Irina.
Hi Perle, Thanks for the link!
My computer seems to have saved that in favorites, for some reason. My Mac has magical properties ...
