July Pictures and Chit Chat

This is continuing from our June Chit Chat -- again, I'll post my picture of my recovering Pound Puppy Violet

Pound puppy, I love that!

As bad as it looked, it said "take me home." So I did and it looks much better, now!

I am so glad you took this on --- Just wonderful, just wonderful is what the Dr kept saying after several big "C" recoveries. trying to keep this a group effort.....And we are doing good.

So your picture fits right in into recovery topic.Pretty AV. An optimara for sure.....

But you knew all along how to do this....Sorry if I offended you with instructions.

S.

You dove right in : got to get more plants , more pics more and more. you did so good

It's certainly a beauty now!

That's how addictions get started... LOL

Mine started with three "pund puppy" Violet from Lowe's and one Kohleria cutting...

Great choice for a rescue! And great growing! I wish my Violets would look so good through Summer in Chicago...

And I agree with Helene: You'll need to get more plants! :)
