Nanny's Violet

About 5 years ago my dear, sweet friend Cindy gave me a clipping out of a violet plant. Her husband's grandmother, "Nanny", grew beautiful violets. Now I do NOT have a green thumb. In fact I think it's brown or black. EVERYTHING I grow dies. But, I put the violet on the kitchen counter and watered it. For 5 years. No blooms, but it stayed alive (miracle). Cindy came to visit a month ago and suggested it needed more light. So, I put the violet on my kitchen table. Next thing I knew, it had buds! Meanwhile, Cindy let me know that her violets from "Nanny" weren't doing so well. I am pleased to present my first "Nanny" violet bloom, and to give back a clipping to Cindy!
