A Full Transformation!

Remember back in March when I was concerned about my purple violet that my son and his wife had gifted me? Remember that it had a baby plant that had grown in the same pot and pushed it aside? Remember that it had developed this weird stalk-like thing? Remember that the leaves looked sickly and curled? Just in case you don't remember, I included the photo below.

So, I ordered these nifty pots that are called self-watering African violet pots and broke the stalk thingy off and put it down into the dirt of one of those nifty pots. It looked a bit sad and the leaves and stems were all wilty and curled. Remember how that sad little parent plant looked in its nifty new blue pot? Just in case you don't remember, I included the photo below.

In about a month's time, the sad little wilty and curled leaves had transformed into a healthy looking plant. It was quite the violet transformation and I was smiling about it. I shared that I was excited and I thought the plant was too because it looked like its leaves were stretched out and reaching for the heavens. Just in case you don't remember, I included the photo below.

Well, this morning, I noticed that this same little sad, droopy, wilty-leaved, sad violet had continued to revive and even to thrive and it has started to bloom!

By the way, notice all the beautiful pink blooms nodding here and there on that beautiful pink violet beside it. Maybe it has been offering the little bedraggled next door friend some encouragement!
