African violets

I bought an African violet kit from Georgie at The Miniature Garden and made them up in honor of my great grandma who loved these flowers. The kit makes three colors of violets, but I chose the darkest purple since those are the ones my great grandma kept. Now, my camera just does not understand purple. It sees blue. I insist purrrrrrrrple, and it says baaaaalllloo. =shakes head=

I added a bit of styrofoam inside the bowl and then glued loose tea over the top for dirt. The stems of the leaves and flowers are glued and pressed into the styrofoam core. I'm not sure where in the Heritage these will end up, but for now I've photographed them on the coffee table in a separate vignette. The bowl might be a little big for this particular plant, but I really like it.

I love this. The deep purple African violets are very grandmother reminiscent for for me as well. I didn't know they made miniature flower kits. This is very sweet.
