African Violets: Gifts from Nature-The Series Book One In 1892
while on an evening stroll with his fiance in East Africa, Baron
Walter von Saint Paul discovered an unusual plant with delicate
purple flowers growing along a stream on his plantation. Legend has
it that he picked a bouquet and presented it to his fiance, staring
the world's love affair with the African violet. Today, this plant
is indeed the most popular indoor flowering plant grown by
gardeners and plant enthusiasts around the world. Whether your goal
is to enjoy beautifully flowering African violets in your home, to
become an expert grower of these lovely plants, or to develop a
deeper understanding of how the plants function, a series of three
books are being written to meet your needs. The Series provides you
with an authoritative guide, taking you through all the steps
necessary for growing elegant African violets and at the same time
explaining to you the secrets of why the plants respond to the
various growing practices used daily in their care. When writing
about African violets, Melvin J. Robey's expertise, pragmatism,
humor and love of the subject are clearly evident. The reader will
find down-to-earth, up-to-date information in this first of three
books in The Series of African Violets: Gifts from Nature. Your
African violets won't flower? In this book eight common problems
are explored, exposing the secrets to having plants whose crowning
glory of blossoms tells everyone you are the superhero of the
African violet world. You will also enjoy 44 dazzling color
photographs and illustrations, along with several black and white
illustrations. A unique chapter on the history of the African
violet plant allows the reader to explore the fascinating story of
how this spectacular houseplant has captured the imagination of
plant-olgists worldwide. For more information on African Violets:
