I always find it so exciting when after a lengthy dormancy thin little sturdy necks pop up from inside the leaflets carrying those tiny heads of fleeting promise. One thinks the buds are prettier than actual flowers, much like babies seem so much cuter than the adults they grow up to be... but then the flowers open and the transformation is awesome. I look at these photos and realize - it's all about African violets, but they are a trusted companion almost all year around. Nothing like deep lavender blooms on your windowsill with feet on snow in the background.
