African violet blooming in the dining room at home - it produced a couple of flowers the previous summer, but this was the first time that it bloomed more heavily -

The African Violet doesn't get as much sun there as it would probably like during the winter months, but all the south-facing windows are already taken by quite a few other plants. In the summer, it gets sunlight late in the afternoon and seems to like that. The whole plant tilts at an almost 45 degree angle towards where the sunlight comes in!
