These were all grown from the one leaf......They like being crowded. The speckled violet is behind on this one pot. One on each side of the window. They love it there.. Brought the one pot down stairs the other day and it drooped.. Took it back up, in an hour it was back being happy........flowers dont talk, they scream.....LOL PS...

Puts my simple white one to shame :(. Although my white one I have had about a year and it is nice and big. I was thinking about getting another color. Very neat to put them together thanks for the idea. Jessi

It is blooming very nicely but the other colors would be wonderful too. Hubby took some pictures of my garden and such if I get them I will post it. Jessi
