    Beautiful. My mother always grew them and, growing up in Indiana, they were grown indoors (they’re not fans of cold). Then I moved to L.A. and my first day on the job, I see a row of African Violets planted outside the building. I was just stunned.

        We had a grapefruit tree in one backyard and a key lime tree in another in the places where we lived. Never got an orange tree sadly, but there were lots of opportunities to get fresh oranges. Avocados too.
