African Violets

Can anyone spare a leaf or two to recover a mothers day gift?

8 years ago

I hate to ask, but I just feel terrible and figure its worth a shot. For mothers day I treated my mom to a few nice violets from Lyndon Lyon greenhouse. I ordered chantasprings, a trailing semi mini with yellow flowers, cute aza bug, and Mac's scorching sun. Her favorites, yellow blooms, trailing AV's, and variegated leaves. I try to be a good daughter, lol. Long story, don't want to go into all the details but she needed a cheer me up, and then her crazy roommate decided to pitch her plants outside, were they cooked under the Texas heat half a day until mom found them.

As good with plants as my mom is, the last one was pronounced officially dead a couple weeks ago. Crazy roommate is gone at least. I am a student and just don't have $50 right now to make another order. Sorry for the sob story, I hate to come off like a beggar. If anyone has a leaf they can spare of any of these or similar AV's please PM me. I can at least cover the postage for them. If nothing else, thanks for reading!
