Rob's Slap Happy

Average Rating 4.8 out of 5

One of my all time favorites

Is there an African violet that you remember fondly over time? This is one for me that I’ve thought about many times over the years. It bloomed happily in my growing conditions and the coral color is so unusual.

Super Cute!

I’ve had this plant since spring it’s now autumn and i think she’s finally sprouting her first buds! I can hardly wait to finally see her flowers, but I haven’t really minded because the variegation is so beautiful. Full of blush and creams, very tidy growth habit as well! Super Cute would definitely refer to a friend! =}

Rob’s Slap Happy

Beautiful variegated leaves, a nice tidy plant. The photo doesn’t do justice to the beautiful colors of the blooms.

Beautiful foliage!!

Rob's Slap Happy is absolutely gorgeous! I'm looking forward to the blooms, but she's just adorable as is! So glad I got her!

Unforgettable color!

My Rob's Slap Happy arrived in healthy condition a year ago and has been doing well on a semi-shaded western window sill. Under these conditions, it hasn't bloomed as abundantly as a few of my other Rob's hybrids, but when it does it absolutely glows! The shade of coral is intense and quite unusual. Even when not in bloom, the lovely peachy pink variegation contrasted with the slightly olive green foliage is captivating.

Bringing Happiness to Your Collection

This semiminiature is a must for your collection! It has a striking flower color and variegation combination, and it shapes up nicely. I fell in love with the plant upon seeing it in a violet show.

Another beautiful plant!

Very pretty variegation; slightly pinkish and green coloration. Pretty even without any blossom.

Cant wait

I don't have a coral color, so i can't wait to get this, hope it does as well as my others

So cute!

I love the foliage on this one. Mine is too young to bloom yet but it is growing vigorously.

So beautiful

Got this violet few month ago, it's now in bloom and it forms absolutely perfect rosette without any my involvement . Most perfect plant I have, easy grower:)))

My favorite

Of all my mini collection this is my favorite, leaves alone soo lovely! I call this my fuzzy pink bunny AV. Because the colors on leaves are amazing! Green, cream, pink, just wow! So happy I got her!

Pam

Love this plant! It is easy to grow. Very pretty foliage and the flower color just adds to it. Grows a little large for me but is a favorite.

Pam Gilmore Aug 14 2014, 10:28 AM

Fabulous Specimen!

Absolutely magnificent variegated foliage, compact foliage neatly encircles brilliant blossoms, making a gorgeous contrast that will long be remembered. Plants are gorgeous even when not in bloom! Love this little gem, you will, too.

One of my favorites

Two years ago when I first got back into violets, I ordered this violet, and it is now one I don't want to be without. I love the coral color of the blooms, and it holds up well in our hot, dry Texas climate. The leaves aren't highly variegated here because of the climate, but it has some and i love the soft quality of the leaves.

Mary Kathryn WILSON May 17 2014, 15:48 PM

Unusual, gorgeous color

One of the first plants I purchased from Violet Barn. The amazing color of this AV never ceases to amaze me. It has continued to grow and flower through my fumbling and learning and is quite a tough little plant!

Alba Sequeira Apr 21 2014, 15:38 PM

My fave!

I grow many Rob's hybrids and they are all wonderful. Rob's Slap Happy is my very favorite. The flower color is amazing and it holds it's crown variegation exceptionally well.

Super Symetry

This plant has such great foliage and is so easy to grow to symetry! Add the beautiful blooms and you have a great show plant! Grwoing it out for next show season!!!

Wilson Cronk Aug 23 2012, 17:23 PM

Captivating coral

Compact growing plant with delightful round leaves. Blooms freely with sprays of lovely coral-colored, long-lasting mini flowers. My plant does not show any variegation in the leaves yet--maybe that will show as the plant ages. This is a wonderful plant that takes up little space but provides a lot of color.

Dean M Aug 06 2012, 20:35 PM

Dependable and Pretty!

I've had my Slap Happy for several years now, and it's frequently in bloom, has great symmetry, and the variegation always returns to the leaves in cooler weather. Definitely one of my favorite violets!

Rob's Slap Happy

This is one of my favorite semiminis. It has won many awards for me in our state show. Nancy B.

Nancy Braun Jan 26 2012, 12:11 PM

beautiful leaves and form

I received this plant as part of a mini collection, and was SO impressed with it's growth, summetry, and gorgeous leaves! If you're concerned about growing a violet and think it might not be too attractive when out of bloom - try this one, you won't be sorry!

Kathy Hendershott Aug 15 2011, 14:35 PM

sparkled flower

My first african violet with a yellow leaf. Pretty color when it is not in bloom and a lot of sparkled specks in the flower. Took about 7 months to get a bloom while growing under a light.
