Beautiful Little Plant!

I was so excited to receive this little violet in the mail. It was packaged perfectly and the color of the foliage is amazing with a purple/pink hue to the leaves. It has a bud on it and I can't wait to see the color!

Beautiful little bloomer. Love the yellow.

Wow!

I got this plant as a freebie with my recent order. I was really impressed with all the variegated leaves already starting to form. Can't wait to see it bloom! All the plants I've gotten from the Violet Barn have thrived wonderfully. Order from them! You won't be disappointed.

Rare Find

I can’t wait to see how yellow the blooms are on this variety. This will be my only yellow av in my collection. Very excited!

Way more than I had expected!

I was shocked and SO pleasantly surprised when my Golden Eye violet arrived. Everything was packaged perfectly as usual, and the foliage was absolutely stunning. It has the most vibrant pink variegation! It has several flower buds, I check everyday... cannot wait for them to open :) Thank you again Violet Barn!

Amazing!

Just received two of the cutest miniatures ever! The packaging was awesome. The plants were healthy and in great shape! Thanks so much! I will be ordering more! Phyllis Gibbs

Gorgeous Golden Eye!

I had been looking for a yellow av with no luck. I finally found it here! Besides carrying beautiful and rare varieties, I've also read very good comments about the quality of your plants and the packaging in an online av group.

So cute!

This is the first time I have ordered from Violet Barn. I certainly will again. I’m new to all this so I don’t know much, but my little Golden Eye is perfect. It arrived very well packaged and when I opened it it was lovely. No blooms, of course, but the leaves were I great shape. I also ordered Rob’s Wascally Wabbit. It, too was in perfect shape. I was very kindly gifted a free plant! A little beauty-Rob’s Bad Bunny! So thoughtful. Cheryl clough

1st order but DEFINATELY not the last!!

I forgot to rate my review. Definately 10 stars!!

Pretty, But Flowers Are White With Pink

Lovely plant. Some of the most impressive foliage. Very shy bloomer and when it does bloom the flowers are white with a pale pink in the middle. Still a very pretty plant. Especially of you like the variegated pink foliage like I do.

Great smaller African Violet

I’m new to growing African Violets but after reading reviews, decided to take a chance on Violetbarn. I’m sure glad I did! My plants were packed so no damage occurred in shipping & plant took off growing with no problems. I’m excited to order more

Shy bloomer for me, but beautiful even without flowers!

The first time this little plant bloomed for me, I could only consider the blooms yellow if I really stretched my imagination. But the second time it bloomed, the flowers were a definitive, beautiful, bright yellow! It has been a shy bloomer thus far, but I've also had a few issues with my growing conditions that are (hopefully) now corrected, so I'm hoping to see more blooms in the future. But even without flowers, the variegated leaves on this plant are beautiful on their own!

Beautiful foliage

forgot to rate it.

Paula Noakes Apr 23 2019, 15:53 PM

Stunning

It arrived today very healthy! I can’t wait until it blooms!

Gorgeous Yellow AV

Bought this and the Warm Sunshine for my mother. She loves them both but I like the Golden Eye's darker foliage. Both have pretty yellows which are so hard to find. Going to have to get a Golden Eye for myself.

Gorgeous!

This plant arrived in perfect condition and was packed with extreme care. Mine has not bloomed yet, but the foliage is absolutely beautiful. Way more color than is shown in the photo above. I can't wait to see it flower.

great leaf variegation!

The leaf color of this little gem is gorgeous! Pinks, creams and green. I can't wait for it to bloom!

sherryl gunderson Apr 17 2015, 17:19 PM

Love It!

I received my Golden Eye yesterday. The packaging was exceptional so all of my order was in perfect condition. The Golden Eye had one bloom on it and more to come. The bloom was a little more white than I expected and the foliage was variegated pinkish, not what I expected from the picture online. I can't wait to see this plant mature and watch the changes I know will come.

Theresa Smith Apr 10 2015, 10:20 AM

love this little plant!

I bought this plant about a year ago. It's a good grower with beautiful varigation. It's only bloomed once for me, though.

Kimberley Clawson Aug 09 2014, 19:54 PM

golden eye

I bought this violet because of the yellow color. Was disapointed when it arrived as had a small bloom that dried up. A couple of weeks later it bloomed and the bloom was what I would call cream not yellow as I had expected fom the picture. But do love it anyway and can't wait till I can order more

Linda Bowen Jul 22 2014, 13:38 PM

Just Perfect..as always..

I have been growing violets for years and have ordered many from other places that were so sad. I managed to revive them, but I have NEVER had that problem from Violet Barn. This love specimen came in perfect condition and has bloomed profusely since it arrived. Very rarely do i but from anyone else any more....

Nina Green Jun 06 2014, 09:00 AM

SAD

I lost the first one I ordered. Had to order another one.

Betty Shaw Apr 06 2014, 16:51 PM

Mine is white and the center is pink...

Mine has arrived last December. It started to bloom. I was expecting a yellow flower, but the one arrived is basically white and the center of the flower is pale pink... I wonder if this is only mine or if this is what it actually is? But still like the variegated foliage and will add 2 stars for the one arrived.

Hideto Kitano Feb 23 2013, 12:24 PM

My first

This was one of my first semi and miniature violets. I bought several at the time. This one seems to be the easiest to care for. Mine has bloomed twice now. I've had it less than a year. I love! But, yes I have a but. Mine has never been as yellow as the picture description. Mine actually is solid white blooms and the little thing right in the center is yellow. So not sure why but if your looking for yellow for a party or table decoration you might need to choose a different color. It is the prettiest little plant I have. I definately would recommend. I only give 4 stars cause I wanted yellow and its more white.

Carla Combs Feb 15 2013, 09:04 AM

My Favorite Yellow Violet

My plant is 2 years old and has bloomed many times. Beautiful yellow blossoms are highlighted against the dark varigated leaves. Cooler weather produces the best yellow color.

Gay Wilson Feb 12 2013, 17:18 PM

Golden eye

Purchase this a year ago and it was really young when arrived, the blooms on my plant are mostly white with just a little yellow in the middle, also it only bloomed once.

Hera Oct 01 2012, 12:54 PM

Great Little Plant

This is a very pretty plant. I especially love the variegated leaves edged in pink/purple. Since I've gotten it 9 months ago its been very tame, growing symmetrically and hasn't suckered once. The only thing that bothers me about it is that the outer leaves tend to curl downward. It also has only bloomed once for me.

Julia Sep 06 2012, 19:53 PM

A lovely little violet

While not a true yellow, it is still very lovely and is a very good grower.

Ruth Miller May 17 2012, 22:35 PM

Not as yellow as I expected

I purchased this several years ago and the blooms on my plant are mostly white with a yellow center (eye). I wouldn't describe the bloom color as yellow. The description of white with yellow is accurate.

Kendra McCray Apr 30 2012, 11:40 AM

Love this violet!

This is my current favorite violet. It has shaped up beautifully, and the contrast between the light blooms and the dark foliage is lovely. I heartily recommend this one.

Tracy Nov 27 2011, 00:01 AM

GOLDEN EYE NOT QUITE GOLDEN

I was surprised to have my plant arrive already in bloom! I was somewhat disappointed that the flowers where more white than expected with very little yellow. I am hoping that future blooms may develop more yellow.

VICKI YOUNG May 08 2011, 01:16 AM

Golden Eye

I love this little one - The blossom has a bit of blush on it - Perfect with the dark pink and green leaves - It's a wonderful pick
