Last Month:

Our April 18th meeting was all about flowers. We celebrated the beautiful blooms of our African violets with a fun and interactive program:

 “Get Your Bloom On” 

Many members brought an African violet with a bloom on it—their prettiest or most interesting flower to share with the group. There were many oohs and ahs.

 Special Activity

All the plants were out so everyone could admire them.

Each member voted once for each of these three categories:

• Prettiest Bloom

• Most Unusual Flower

• Best Bloom Display

We voted for the plants. Melissa counted the votes. Jim 's violet won for the prettiest bloom and Ernie won the most unusual bloom AND best bloom display.  There were so many beautiful violets. Such good fun and a great way to see the variety we grow!

 We Also:

• Watched a short video highlighting different African violet flower types

• Shared simple tips for encouraging more blooms

• Enjoyed a relaxed and flower-filled meeting together

What a colorful and fun floral gathering!
