This is the HUGEST, healthiest African violet I have ever seen!! My friend’s hubby gave it to her on the first anniversary of their first date. FORTY NINE YEARS AGO!!!  
It is as big around as a 55-gallon barrel! I have large hands and EACH LEAF IS AS BIG AS MY HAND!  
Just thought you might enjoy seeing it. It’s pretty amazing! Photos don’t do it justice.

That’s so impressive, I feel like a lot of people have issues with turning African violets to mush after awhile (me included lol)
