Tampa African Violet Society Show
“Mother Goose and Dr. Suess” is the theme for the 2011 show and plant sale sponsored by the Tampa African Violet Society. They promise a whimsical look at the fantasy and fairy tale-like beauty of African violets, trailing African violets, chimeras, fantasies and other gesneriads: the violet’s cousins.
It will be held February 25 and 26, 2011, at the Farm Bureau, 100 South Mulrennen Road, Valrico, Florida. Hours are noon to 5 p.m. Friday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The show is judged and includes horticulture exhibits and design exhibits. The design classes will be based on the theme, as will the exhibition. And,of course, there’s a sales area where you can purchase African Violets grown by members of the society, based in Tampa, Florida.
