African Violet Buds

AVs are so easy to grow under fluorescent lights that it feels almost like cheating. Growing babies from leaves is especially rewarding but needs a bit of patience, since they take several months to reach a size where the babies can be separated and repotted, and then several more months for them to come into bloom.

I love seeing all the little hairs and how well the foreground is separated from the back. Super well done. ~BV~

Super shot. Love the low angle here and the image is so sharp one can see the hairs on the leaves and stems. VV

They're just lovely, although sounds like a lot work to me!
