Hello and Welcome.
You might be new here. So am I.
My name is Annie and I am a young African Violet.
I have the most striking beautiful flowers.
Really ... take a closer look.
I am a pretty face for sure!
Don't you think?
I am very new to this home. And it is a strange home, indeed, for a little plant like me. First of all there are no other plants to share my space with. Very lonely.
I discovered as well that the light in this home is very poor for plants. I do have, however, my very own light. How many plants have their own personal light!!!
And then there is the real reason why I am so alone. The other non-human beings in this home ... the resident cats ... like to eat plants!
Yikes!
This could come to a very bad end for me!
Oh well - those felines have not yet discovered me and I am loved right now. Keeping my fingers (uhh ... leaves) crossed that I continue to "bloom where I am planted."

Good luck Annie....hopefully those fuzzy leaves won't be a temptation for the cats....ask your human to sprinkle a little cayenne pepper on your leaves and soil...worked at our house.
Hi Annie, good luck!
Poor Annie! I do hope she doesn't get ravaged by the resident felines
We need to find her a plant-superhero to protect her.....'calling 'Botanic-man'!!!
Great A-Z entry! Hello, Annie. Consider yourself in the spotlight and impossible to miss!
African violets are so forgiving. I'm sure they are appreciative of any home. I've never had this one.
Interesting A

Greetings Annie and good luck with those plant eating cats.
Wow, red pepper on the leaves! Never thought of that. Great idea. I'll give it a try!!
That was great! Best wishes Annie!
Well, your African Violet may be lonely but at least she blooms! I have one that just sits there making lots and lots of pretty leaves but never blooms. What am I doing wrong?

Ah poor Annie. My grandmother kept African violets in her guest bathroom - loads and loads of them. She rarely had guests. Thanks for letting me think of her.
LOL - good luck to Annie!
good luck Annie! :)
