Is it too early in the year to find African Violets in the stores? I have
been checking the usual sources (Lowe's, Home Depot, Wal-Mart). If they
have any, they are scraggely. I have been checking regularly because I
know the key to buying plants from these places is to get them before the
lack of care ruins them.

The last couple of years, the selection has been outstanding. What gives?

I found decent little ones at Home Depot last week. The DH of course said
goodbye to them right away, as he has little (err, *no*) faith in my
plant-rearing ability.

Nice flowers on them, and inexpensive. Even if they die they're worth it
