As my aunt Morley and several other relatives clean out my grandparents home, things have been either finding their way to new homes or into the trash/donation/compost piles.
If you read some of Morley's posts, you will know that my grandmother had an abundance of house plants. African violets were plenty on a special shelving unit with lights in the dining room. 5 of these have made their way to my house.
They are still alive, but not yet thriving. I still need to learn how to properly take care of them. I also need to find an appropriate place for them to sit, as direct sunlight is not wise. So far one has released a fresh bloom. Will I see more? I sure hope so.

I hope you manage to keep them alive as it would be a nice remembrance of your grandmother. I have a black thumb so nothing grows in my house
