violets and a charlie plant

My older daughter is very busy with school and other activities now... and her plants have suffered from a bit of neglect. She decided to give them all back to me (except for a cactus and the medinilla). The jades and mini geraniums were in such poor shape I just composted them... but I saved the violets- second and third in the row here. The small one behind the two baby violets sharing a pot, is their parent. And the third one, with pink flowers, is sibling to my large violet on the left.
Which is about to flower again- tiny buds deep in its crown.
Creeping charlie cuttings I had given her months ago, were languishing in their jar of water still. I trimmed the long roots and potted them up, crossing my fingers for survival.
