My violet and my rose

This is one of my violets, which I think is so beautiful. I have basically two colors of violets-- purple and white and then kind of a pinkish one. I took a leaf from each plant and put it in soil and watered it. When it grew and flowered, this is the wonderful mix I got!!!

This is from my "Lovers Lane" rose bush, which produces such gorgeous red roses (mainly at the beginning and middle of the blooming season, not so much since it got so hot).
