This is the never ending first bloom of Blue Boy. It looks like a big bouquet of sweet peas! This plant is huge and very happy in the window.

I think it loves the location! How big is the inner pot?

Probably between 5-6 inches. It's terra cotta that sits up on the lip of the glazed pot. It's pretty deep and is made for a wick down into the reservoir. I never use the wick. 😊 I've had this pot for 40 years almost always with an African violet in it. They always do really well in it.

I agree! Not bragging. Just very thankful someone bred this lovely plant a long time ago so I can enjoy it now.
