African Violet :)

Saintpaulia or more commonly known as African Violet is indeed from Africa! I've always wanted an African Violet plant for its little, delicate looking flowers. It was more for me than a Gloxinia actually.

Am very happy to receive this plant as a gift from my warm colleague today; after my failing to cultivate them from leaves cuttings - the rodents in my office ruined them.

I pray it bloom soon, then we shall see the color of the flowers; like a present waiting to be unwrap :)

"The rose is red, the violet's blue,
The honey's sweet, and so are you.
Thou are my love and I am thine;
I drew thee to my Valentine:
The lot was cast and then I drew,
And Fortune said it shou'd be you"
