My other hobby

Some of you may remember from this thread https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/lounge/40707-my-new-african-violet-chimera.html that I also grow african violets. In addition I grow Episcias, commonly known as "flame violets." They're grown mostly for foliage. Here are mine:

Silver Skies- 5" pot

Silver Dust- 5" pot

Ember Lace- 5" pot

La Solidad Bronze- 5" pot

Kee Wee- 6" pot

Reminds me of when I was growing up. My mom always had african violets around the house. Very pretty

Thanks Sara! That one is my favorite too. The pink, green, and white make a nice contrast. It hasn't bloomed for me yet, but it's supposed to be pink.

They produce stolons (think strawberry plant runners) so they're quite easy to propagate/frag. I've done it with Silver Skies and La Solidad Bronze. There's a plant sale in October that they're going to.

Sweet plants......If you ever get a cutting or what ever of that sweet Ember lace let me know......I would love to have a cutting to add to my dart frog vivarium.

My wife had one of those last year but it died.
