Happy African Violet Anniversary To Me...

Five years ago this month, a tiny little African violet caught my eye at a Lowe's Home Improvement Store and completely changed my life. (Not saying that just to sound dramatic--it really, truly did.)
Tonight I came home after being away for the past month or so and there it was, blooming away on my shelf as if it was trying to say, "Welcome home, and happy anniversary."

I can't believe it's been five whole years already! I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing with these damn plants mosta the time. I'm so happy that I found this little plant that night, which led me into this hobby and a new life, surrounded with great people.
