Besides admiring their beauty on the stalks, I use them for decorations. When I am in the mood to fancy-up my meals, I grab some African Violet flowers and display them with the food. They add color and heighten up the mood. The flowers make food look more formal, dressed, and pleasing to the eyes. On other occasions I added them to the side of my candles. They give-off a very pretty and delicate touch of class. The delicate flowers also can add a gentle romantic feel to any setting, and never overly done. Next time you have a special occasion to host, serve your meals with some flowers, or lay the African Violets next to your candles.

ReplyDeleteI knew you could eat violets - in fact they are healthy for you, but not African violets. I love to learn new things. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThose look beautiful, great to see them used in such a decorative way.
ReplyDeleteFlowers always seem to dress up an otherwise drab dish. I use them sometimes for parties. The violets really make the limes shine.
ReplyDeleteI'm so going to hire you to be my gardener! You are so good at this.
