This lovely violet is at least 15 years old. Given to me on mother's day. A small amount of miracle grow in the water and it just bursts with blooms. I keep it in the window over my sink. Always seems to be smiling at me!
Macro Monday Have a great Monday!

Wow! It's 15 years old?? I'm lucky if I can keep a plant alive for 15 minutes ;)
Keep doing whatever you're doing - it looks great!
i had one for years....couldn't hardly kill it! LOL. don't know why everyone thinks they're so hard to grow. find the right light or window and they'll bloom their hearts out!
Wow! Your Violet is so beautiful!
Mom used to grow Violets, when I was a young child. You are bringing back some nice memories for me :)
Gorgeous capture! This Violet looks alive on the monitor screen!
Beautiful, just beautiful! 15 years old, that is great! I love Violets, just reminds me of my precious grandmother, she grew them too! There for awhile I had many on my window sill, should think about getting some again! Thanks for the sweet memories.

Beautiful Nanny... My mother used to grow beautiful African Violets... Your picture brought back memories....
Hope you are getting some of this cooler weather...

Oh, how pretty. I'm sure it has brought you lots of smiles through the years.
What a beautiful shot ---and I'm amazed at how long you've had that plant.
Glad it has lasted this long because it is a lovely plant.
I love violets, too, Nanny! I've had one in my kitchen window for a long, long time... I'm afraid to count the years! LOL! Yours is beautiful!!
For an old plant that sure is a beauty...love those soft blooms!
I'm impressed that you can keep a plant alive for so long!
15 years old is amazing! It's absolutely lovely!
I cannot believe that was 15 years ago and I really can't believe you can keep a plant alive that long...wow! Gorgeous shot.
I have grown violets since the first day I got married. Some of mine are very old. Yours is very lovely. You asked what was in my Netflex queue.Here are a few Rosemary and Thyme series 2 and 3 ,Letters to Juliet, John Adams 2 and 3. Ladies Decective Agency 1 ,2, 3 , The Time Traveler's Wife. Sherlock Homes.Wives and Daugthers, The Planet Earth 1,2,3,4,5 and I love music vidoes.

I can't believe you've had your violet this long! I have had a couple of them and they die right away. Yours is just lovely!
I have always loved these flowers, a memory from my grandma..I have to have one in my home! :D
Violets always make me think of my mom and my granny. They had a way with violets, too.
I love violets!
just beatuful. i've never had a plant or flower live very long. Rose
