Hortense Pittman - The Real Deal

I've had the pleasure of calling Hortense and her husband Ray my friends for nearly 27 years.  Oh, I was so young back then!  Here's a picture of Hortense at the recent Lone Star African Violet Council (LSAVC) show in Kerrville, TX.  At 84 she still grows, shows and hybridizes.  We should all be so lucky!
