One of the best
I bought Ma’s Ching Dynasty a few years ago and it has always been a stunning specimen. What struck me the most was how the flower petals were almost glittery. I couldn’t stop looking at it in the sunlight.
Awesome!
Received my Ma's Ching Dynasty a few months ago. It arrived well packed and healthy and has rewarded me with stunning blooms for the last few weeks. Luv it!
Ma’s Ching Dynasty
Love it! Always amazed with how safely these plants are packed. Very pretty large thick and fuzzy leaves. I can’t wait for the flowers.
Stunner!
These violets are absolute stunners!
Ma’s Ching Dynasty
This will be my third order with Violet Barn. Packaging has always been good. I cannot wait to see this lovely violet bloom. Freebie
Beautiful blooms
I received a young plant so it took awhile for it to mature. Now that I have found the correct setup for Ma's Ching Dynasty, it is rewarding me with beautiful, fast growth and blooms (love the colors). Very happy with its progress!
Exotic beauty
Definitely one of the most exotic and beautiful African violets I've had. Only the Violet Barn carries this particular variety. One can always find some unusually beautiful violets from the Violet Barn!
Beautiful!
I got this a few weeks ago and now buds are coming out and happy with its new environment now. Excited to see the petals to open love this!
Gorgeous!!
These blooms always remind me of Viola Etain. Simply gorgeous and my favorite color combination. Foliage is beautifully serrated. The favorite of my collection.
Received 3 young Ching Dynasty starters
The 3 young Ma's Ching Dynasty starters arrived today and I am not pleased. They are all extremely fragile, very tiny and one is very badly discolored and I am concerned. They are so fragile that when unpacking, one of them is now exfoliated as the tiny leaves kept popping off left and right! I am not happy with this order and decided to write a review as I have had previous (recent) orders arrive in this same condition. I am tired of being told from Violet Barn "they will be OK and adjust, keep us posted" - buyers should not be shipped inferior plants that are not well established and ready for sale. If they cannot tolerate shipping, they are too young to sell!
Growing Beautifully
I adore this plant. She’s been pushing out new leaves since I got her, and blooms can’t be far behind. Beautiful, healthy and really sturdy foliage.
So Pretty
The first blooms were a very faint yellow, with a blue-violet border. The flowers grow more golden as the plant matures—worth the patience!
Ma's Ching Dynasty is Stunning!
Ma's Ching Dynasty is a stunning variety. It wasn't the easiest-to-grow violet I've ever had, but it sure looks great when it blooms. It's a sophisticated variety that may take at least an intermediate level grower.
Ma's Ching Dynasty
Still working on blooming! But love the plant!
stunning
What a stunning african violet as only Violet Barn do!!! Excellent grower and bloomer.
Ma's Ching Dynasty won't grow for me
I have tried this AF twice. First time I believe I over-watered and over-fertilized it and it never had the pretty blooms in the picture before it looked so bad, I tossed it out. The second time, I had one bloom that was lovely under lights, but the plant is refusing to grow. I think it might be my environment and while I have not killed it, it just is not growing like the rest of my AF that I got from violetbarn. I'm still trying, but am discouraged.
Lovely
I always get compliments on this AV, and I've had it for several years now.
Beautiful plant but....
The blooms won't open all the way. This is the only violet I have that the buds won't fully open and I don't understand why. They do not wilt and drop, they just won't open. Other than that she is pretty, nice light green curly leaves and masses of buds. Now if they would just open up.
I am ordering another Ma's Ching Dynasty
This is a beautiful blossom and am ordering another one for my wife to enjoy for spring.
Love the Colors!
Love the colors on these beautiful blooms! Makes a great gift Karen Jean Matsko Hood
Most Gorgeous AV!
I bought this beauty two years ago from Violet Barn. The blooms are indeed as gorgeous as it was shown in the picture and it bloomed very well for me for a year and a half until I went for a long vacation! It didn't survive the 3-week break and I am looking forward to buying a new plant this summer!
owner
I've had this interesting and gorgeous plant for a year now and recommend it. The blooms are just as shown in the picture and although they don't cover the plant, each bloom is a picture all by itself. You'll love it.
Mas Ching Dynasty
I bought this one for my mom for Mothers Day. It arrived today. It was very well packed. It was real healthy, lighter green than her other violets. I was disappointed that it did not have any flowers or blooms, but it will be a really good surprise.
Ma's Ching Dynasty is awesome!
Beautiful plant, love the foliage and the blooms, just fantastic!!
Disappointed
This was one of the AV's I really looked forward to seeing it bloom. The picture is so gorgeous. I was so disappointed when it bloomed as it was almost entirely purple, no yellow at all an just a very small amount of white. Could it be that I got a mislabeled plant or does it sport?
Flower Color Gorgeous
My plant arrived quickly was very robust and healthy. My experience was noticing the first blooms opening without yellow but watched over several days as each blossom matured with various lovely shades of yellow. This contrast of flower color with multiple blooms is amazing. I have done nothing significant fertilizer wise to impact the blooms but I do use a plant cart with lights. The leaves are very quilted somewhat thick and stiff. It is a little difficult for me to try and get them to lay down without splitting. For this reason only I deducted a star. Flowers are gorgeous. ????
Happy Plant!
I rooted four different standard sized violet leaves all at the same time, and this one was the first to put up a bud! Very attractive growth, and the flowers are amazing!
Great Product!!
This is a beautiful plant and was amazing when it came! It was full and had flowers on it when it arrived. Mum loved it!
.Mas Ching Dynasy
Violet arrived in perfect condition, even has several small buds.Violet Barn packs their product so well that there was no damage to the plant. I am already planning my next purchase.
waiting for beauty
got my plant and its healthy, but no such luck getting any flowers.most of what I've bought has been just awesome from you guys, but I'm trying to be patient with this one-the promise of flowers is so strong.
Nice Grower
Flowers have yet to reach the colors in the photo, but they are profuse and plant is healthy
Wow the flowers are beaitful.
the violet came with flowers and a bud and all I could say. Wow. I am so glade I got it.
Mas Ching Dynasty
I ordered a Mas Ching Dynasty. The order came in nicely packed but the color of the plant was nothing like shown. :(
Margaret Brock
This violet is in bloom now and is so pretty and delicate looking. It blooms more than a lot of my violets and it is one of my favorites.
Mas Ching Dynasty
received my plant approx. 2 weeks ago, it arrived with a bloom on it and was very healthy. It has since lost that bloom and I have new blooms appearing. It is healthy and beautiful and I would recommend it to a friend and I would buy another.
healthy and happy
I received plant a week and half ago, doing very well and has a new bloom starting.
beautiful
very pleased with this plant.
The most striking
I love the blooms. They have yellow with purple edges . Everyone loves the flowers.
Very Pretty
Blooms all the time. Mine not showing yellow like the picture but pretty just the same. Occasionally pluck outer leaves to give it breathing room. Hardy and Low maintenance.
Wow
The only std I have and I love her, great blooms and leafs.
Ma's Ching Dynasty
Beautiful plant,fast grower,huge blooms,one of my favorites of the Ma's varieties.
Love changing colors of flowers
Have really enjoyed watching the flowers change as they mature. The colors are beautiful, change a bit as matures with the yellow appearing as they mature. Mine have had green edging changing to blue-really neat. Foliage is pretty also.
Mas Ching Dynasty
Got this very cute violet a month ago, already had flowers on it and still blooming. Came in very good condition. Thank u violet barn for beautiful flowers.
MCD
I love the curly leaves, but the flowers are small and there's no yellow on them. Perhaps I need to fertilize.
Mas Ching Dynasty
Unfortunately I had a horrible gnat infestation and I went to war with them. I killed them all and ended up killing some flowers too and I'm hoping this one comes back. But before that happened- this flower was by far my favorite. It took a few rounds of blooming for it to really show the yellow but once it did it was amazing! If it doesnt make it I will definitely be buying another one!
Cool
This is without a doubt one of the coolest plants!
Pretty Color Combo
I love this violet!!! This is another one of my all-time favorites, I travel a lot and sometimes my violets are little on the neglected side – this one has always rewarded me with beautiful, unique, yellow happy face blooms ruffled in purple. In fact I almost lost this in a move just a month or two ago and repotted it. It only has four leaves on it, yet it has sent up two flower bracts. How is that for rugged?! Oh, it has pretty ruffled foliage too!
mas ching dynasty
I received this plant from you (your packaging was sheer artistry)already blooming. The plant has grown rapidly putting out new leaves. I am patiently waiting for it to mature to see how beautiful it will be when fully grown. Thank you.
Mas Ching Dynasty
So when I received this plant it looked kind of on the puny side, but now it is beautiful. So the flowers are not quite as yellow but you do see yellow. They are beautiful. This plant is worth adding to your collection.
Perfect!
Bought this 4 months ago and it just started blooming! Looks just like all the photos I have seen online (which vary according to light and camera). Purple blue edge and white background flushed with impressive yellow! I sometimes doubt how yellow a bloom will be because people "enhance" photos. I am very impressed with this one!
Cute little plant
I received this as a gift not too long ago. It still hasn't bloomed for me, but it's doing very well. I can't wait to see it mature. :)
Yellow blooms take time on all violets
Just wanted to comment on all of the people that are disappointed because the blooms are white with no yellow mottling - when you receive this plant, it is young and the colors are not going to be as vibrant as above. Yellows specifically take a while for the plant to display, but they are SO worth taking the time. Once the plant mature a bit, it will look like the bloom above. So many people give up on the yellow blooms way too soon, so give it some time, and if it blooms white at first - it's ok!
First Experience
This was my first order from the Violet Barn and I was anxious to see blooms on the Mas Ching Dynasty AV. I made the novice mistake of replanting it right away in a self-watering Oyoma pot. The violet did not take kindly to the experience and the crown leaves are black at the ends. discolored. I'm ready to try again without transplanting right away. Also, I've ordered Rob's potting soil.
LOVE IT
Mas Ching Dynasty turned out to be lovely. Love the color and the lacy petals. One of my favorites. Plants did exceptionally well. Had growth and flowers within days to a couple weeks. Will order again.
Color?
Mine just got it's first blooms. They're white with a slight lavender edged, not what I expected. I hope it changes as it matures.
Mas Ching Dynasty
all my plants arrived in good shape, waiting for this one to take root and bloom.
Beautiful
I love the beautiful, lacy, delicate look this flower exhibits. While my family has a love for african violets, it is nice to find special looking violets different than big box stores. This is definitely a special violet.
easy to bloom
This violet has the most beautiful blooms. I was surprised how quick it started blooming and the curly leaves are a perfect background for the cluster of blooms.
Great Color combination
Great color combination and easy grower
My Favorite Yellow
I bought this violet last year and I love it! Not only does it have a beautiful yellow blossom with a touch of purple, but it has lovely light green wavy leaves. The plant is heartier than other yellows I have had and easier to grow successfully.
love this violet
I love this violet but mine never turns the pink color. I am thinking it must be the lighting. It stays white and green but, still very pretty.
Ma's Ching Dynasty
I really like this plant. Mine doesn't show as much yellow as in the picture, but it is still a striking, unique flower. It's one of my favorites.
Ma's Ching Dynasty
I ordered several plants.All arrived healthy. Ma's Ching Dynasty was the only one with a bud on it. After a week the bud bloomed into a lovely flower, but was not as colorful or full as the picture to the left of the large picture on the site. The flower has a little pale green on edges and pale purple lining on center bud. It's a young plant & I'm hoping future flowers will be more colorful as plant matures. Thank you.
Beautiful!
My Mas Ching Dynasty is beautiful! Since the day I got it, repotted it and placed it in his home location within my home, it has been growing and blooming constantly. I love the frilly edges on the blooms and the yellow and purple make a beautiful combination! The way the leaves are frilly on the edges matches the blossoms! It makes me smile everytime I look at it! Thank you!!!
Yellow n Violet
Rob's description says it all here; Ching Dynasty is a classical yellow. Its blue-violet "edging" varies (for me in South Texas heat) to near splashes, not detracting from its beauty. Needs some tender care in my environment, which is very abnormal, to avoid tight crowns/extreme frilly leaves, but well worth it. One of the few yellows that don't "pink" in my heat.
Unique
Such a pretty little plant - I love the color combination of the pale yellow and lavender/blue edge. Ruffles on the the bloom and pretty ruffled foliage. Pretty when not in bloom, and when in bloom it sends up so many buds at once!
Ching Dynasty
I too am a bit disappointed in this violet. It's nice but not as striking as in the picture. Hopefully as it matures it will become more vibrant.
The First Bloom
Even though the first bloom was not like the one above, it still had a pretty flower with little hint of purple on the edges and a tiny bit of yellow on the flower. Since it is a starter plant, the bloom will soon turn out to be the color on the picture above when it matures. Still it's a nice violet.
Mas Ching Dynasty
I ordered 5 different types of African violets and am pleased with the others. However,I am disapointed with Mas Ching Dynasty. I ordered this plant and paid the higher price because I thought the flowers pictured were gorgeous. I did think "Wow!" when I saw them. The flowers on my plant are nice, but look nothing like the picture. The flowers on my plant are white. There is no yellow at all - no "heavy yellow mottling." There is a slight fringe - not"heavily fringed." There is a very thin blue edge - not a "thick blue edge." I would never have paid $8.oo for it if I had known what I was getting. I would have skipped it and bought something else.
