Nice foliage...but where are the blooms?

I do get a chuckle from folks who think violets are a great decorating accent on the coffee table. I will usually say something like, "Your violet has beautiful foliage - does it bloom?" The response is always the same, "it hasn't bloomed since I bought it."

Did you know the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result?

Violets must have a reasonable period of bright, indirect light in order to initiate a blooming cycle. Most coffee table locations don't meet that requirement. Ahhh! How about closer to a window. Now there is a novel idea.
