They could well be. Most of the baskets and pots done for business and towns are crowded with plants, therefore the plants have nowhere to grow but to trail down the pot. It's rather like crowding plants in a bed. They grow taller looking for space and light

I believe you'll get suitable answers on the "African Violet" forum, rather than here on the "Violet" forum (true violets are different plants altogether)... good luck!

Can you share pictures of your cabinets and flooring with the samples. The Sedona Trail is a nice neutral - but I think it will be too neutral with the honey oak and red oak. You need a much stronger contrast between the two oaks. Do you have a good inspiration picture of the Basalt Slate? I have a similar issue in my kitchen - orangy birch cabinets and red oak flooring with counter being too close to the same color - talk about a "sea of orange". I plan to remedy that in a few years by painting my cabinets white :)

You mean that seed pod is gonna sit there for the next 4 to 6 months????? Ok Anne, I am breathing a little better now. I guess alot of things can happen in that time. There is such a variety of "pollen" around her that there is no telling what her babies would turn out to look like. AND she could also have been pollinated with her own pollen, correct? Oh well, we may see. You have no idea how much I love that plant! Her leaves are so dark and such a perfect teardrop shape! And she is just growing so well! No setbacks whatever! And those beautifully simple flowers in a very pretty blue! I just love her! I must say thank you again for her! I know. Up to my neck in babies, so what is new !?!? I am starting to get mouse ears on my Senk's (oops forgot the name but it has the word blue in it!) Tried to take a pix but in order to see the little babies I needed a magnifying glass! That is how small they still are. Well, that will be another thread for another day! Rosie
