African Violet plants exhibiting the multiflorescence trait with at least one leaf axil that produces two or more flower stems are provided. African Violet plants carrying the multiflorescence trait bloom continuously. The multiflorescence trait has been successfully bred into diverse African Violet plants. The multiflorescence trait can be combined with many desirable traits including different flower colors, leaf colors and growth habit, to produce a wide variety of unique cultivars.

Multiflorescence trait in African Violets

A new and distinct cultivar of African Violet named 'EverHarmony' particularly characterized by its multiflorescence trait, white to very light pink flowers with darker pink around the green center and on some petal edges, wavy edges ending with a finely frilled greenish line that can be up to 2-3 mm, strong, upright flower stems that curve slightly toward the center to form a compact flower bouquet above the leaves, medium green, wavy and serrated, oval to heart-shaped leaves, vigorous and extra large growth habit, flowering 12-13 weeks after potting, and long-lasting and non-dropping flowers.

African Violet plant named 'EverHarmony'

A new and distinct cultivar of African Violet named 'EverGrace' particularly characterized by its multiflorescence trait, single, violet-shaped white flowers with variable amounts of light blue in the center and around the edges, frilled light green edges; strong, upright flower stems that curve slightly toward the center to form a compact flower bouquet above the leaves; medium green, wavy, heart-shaped leaves; vigorous and extra large growth habit; flowering 12-13 weeks after potting, and long-lasting and non-dropping flowers.

A packaging arrangement for a plant facilitating its shipment and merchandising. The packaging arrangement includes a pot having a frustoconical portion and a lip portion, a flexible barrier mounted on the pot at the junction of the frustoconical and lip portions, and an annular elastic member constricting a portion of the barrier that is gather around the stalk of the plant.

Packaging arrangement for a plant

A fragrance emitting plant watering system having a bottom vase providing a reservoir for water supply for a potted plant, an air freshener cartridge supported on the vase, a cap adapted to overlie the cartridge and having a central section for supporting a plant, and wherein the cap is adjustable relative to the vase for movement between a first position in which the cap is raised to variably expose the cartridge to emit fragrance, and a second position in which the cap substantially covers the cartridge to seal the cartridge and inhibit fragrance emission.

Fragrance emitting plant watering system

A plant watering container assembly comprising a bottom container section having side and bottom walls defining a water reservoir, and a top container section removably connected to said bottom container section. The top container section includes an integrally formed funnel-shaped section having a side wall extending downwardly toward said reservoir and defining a conical opening for receiving a side wall of a potted plant, and further having an integrally formed annular bottom wall defining at its radially inner edge a central opening through which a watering wick can pass downwardly into the reservoir. In the event the container is tipped or turned, water in the container reservoir is trapped in an annular chamber defined by the wall of the funnel and the top and bottom container sections, thereby precluding water passing outwardly through the central opening of the funnel-shaped section.
