I just got my first African Violets for Mother's Day! My kid asked me what I wanted and I said space violets and she came through. I'd been looking at them on the website for years but never pulled the trigger. If you like space and want more violets, check them out. :)

"EverFloris Varieties are a direct outcome of the Optimara Space Violet program. The US Space Shuttle Program was retired in 2011, but the legacy lives on in EverFloris Space Violets! The development of EverFloris Violets began in 1984, when 25,000 Optimara seeds were launched into space aboard one of NASA's space shuttles. The seeds remained orbiting the Earth for nearly six years aboard the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF)."
