Violets, violets everywhere!

I have a confession to make... I'm a violet addict! What is a violet addict, you might ask? It's when you can't help but get more violets, even though you already have... shall we say... several? A person posted an offer on Freecycle for free African violets, and this is the thought that went through my head - oh, wow, that's neat, I should see if she still has some! So...yeah. Before tonight, Joanna and I had 12 pots of violets, 13 actual African violets, if you count the pot with two plants in it. So I told the lady - I'd like 2-3 plants, if you had any pink ones, that would be great. I show up, and she's given me a box with 9 violets! I mean, it would be rude to refuse, besides, who can resist violets with names like "sparkleberry" and "rainbow's quiet riot"? After I left the lady's house, I was laughing all the way home. Let's hope Joanna can laugh too when she gets home...

Anyone up for pot shopping? :)
