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've seen them in Kroger and Fresh Market grocery stores just this
week.
