Newspaper Article (Utica Observer-Dispatch, NY, Wednesday, September 3, 1986)
DOLGEVILLE - Their life together has been full of violets; they indulge a mutual passion for purple, pink, mauve, lavender and similar shades.
They have grown together over the last half-dozen years, and the ties that bind their marriage are blue ribbons. *
They are the Soranos. Paul and Sidney, who own the Lyndon Lyon . Greenhouses. She, Sidney, is an Oklahoma woman who chose-nursing as a career and raised African violets as a hobby. He is a Dolgeville native, the grandson of Lyndon Lyon, the man known all over the world for the varieties of African violets he developed, who grew up with vermiculite under his fingernails but- studied electronics at .Mohawk Valley Community College and raised African violets as well because that's what everyone else in the family did.
She carried her hobby, which had developed into a small business, as far as an African Violet Society of America (AVSA competition in Denver. He was there for the same reason, and they found themselves head-to-head in judging for the “best new seedling" competition.
When the-petals settled, she-had taken first place and he had come in second, "so I decided to stop competing” he said “I figured. What the heck, if you can't beat 'em. Join 'em.” And he married her.
That happened six or seven years ago, he said, and since then the two of them have carried the reputation of the greenhouse to new heights.
Last May. for instance, they swept the competition at the annual AVSA convention in St. Paul. Minn. They entered 15 violets, and came home with 15 blue ribbons. Their honors included "best new Saintpaulia for 1986" (Saintpaulia is the botanical name for African violets) and "best new commercial plant for 19S6." They took first and second places in the best seedling awards, first place for the best display table and first place in horticultural perfection.
The-Soranos entire life revolves around African violets. There isn't time for anything else. The plants are remarkably hardy under proper conditions, and easier to grow than the non-grower might think, but there are tens of thousands of them to be tended. Paul and Sidney run the business - which they bought in 1982 when Lyon retired with only the full-time assistance of his brother and the part-time help of his mother and another woman.
“There are no days off," Paul said. "especially from October on." If whim or necessity should tempt them away from the-premises, they must be back before dark. A failure of the heating system could wipe out the entire operation past all hope of recovery, Paul said.
If the major-business. of the Soranos' life is selling African violets to customers from Dolgeville and "just about every place on the planet." their major interest is hybridizing. Every year, Paul said, they develop between 30 and 40 new varieties.
Sidney does most of the hybridizing. Paul said, which is a delicate operation in which minute grains of pollen are scraped from tiny anthers for transfer to the pistil of another plant. Plants are chosen according to desirable characteristics such as flower size, color, configuration.
From the time Sidney nudges pollen from one blossom to another to the day the new plant unfolds its petals and reveals the success or failure of the hybridizing, 18 months to two years have elapsed. It is not a process for the impatient, and the violets the Soranos will enter in the 1988 national AVSA competition are "already being developed.
The humdrum part is growing the thousands upon thousands of plants for sale, each from the leaf of a parent plant, with each leaf producing as many as six to 10 replicas of the parent.
But although business is blooming raising African violets is not. In every-sense, a growth industry.
“We're in the same crunch the farmer is in.” Paul said “Our costs have gone sky-high, but the prices we charge can't go up to cover them. We're heavily dependent on the petroleum industry for fuel and materials - plastic pots (he said they use between 100,000 and 150,000 a year) are an oil derivative and the vermiculite used as a planting medium has to be dried, which uses a lot of heat - and the energy crisis really hurt us."
Still, it's a business with a built-in challenge and very tangible rewards. Their special goal, Paul said, is to develop African violets with bigger flowers. "Our largest so far is just over three inches across." He said. That's about the-size of the rosette on one of those blue ribbons.
