Happy Houseplant Appreciation Day!  
This is my 12 year old African violet that I received in an arrangement when my dad passed away. I didn’t know they could get so big. It was knocked out of the original arrangement by my cat years ago😡. I thought it was a goner. I stuck it in some soil and hoped for the best. She’s been thriving since! 😊🪴

These kinds of plants are always so special! My dad has a big planter from when my grandpa passed away and I have clippings I am propagating to have a piece of him:) so glad this is thriving!!
