Not my Fave
I wanted to like this hybrid more than I actually do, as I have waited quite a while to be able to grow it. Firstly, the flowers are not double, they are very much single wavy blooms of dark pink. The foliage was not variegated as shown either. I also found it to be a shy bloomer. All in all, just didn't meet the description and therefore my expectations.
My personal favorite
At 15 inches across, with gorgeous pink & green foliage and full of hot pink blossoms, this beauty was the star of our winter show. I had so many requests for leaves, including from one of the judges! That was the one request I couldn't turn down. Was still a novice when I bought Jamaica Farewell from Violet Barn, and two years later, I'm winning top awards with Ma's wonderful hybrids. Thank you to both Ma and Rob!

I ordered this violet with my last order...........was very excited to see it. However, due to my furnace not heating properly, I lost several violets including this one. I will be ordering this one again....so totally gorgeous!
A beauty
The blossoms are gorgeous and the foliage comes in as a close second!
Leaves aren't what I expected
I am a little disappointed in this plant. I purchased Feb 2022 and wanted to give ample time before leaving a review on all of the varieties I received. The plant came in very small and sparse and the leaves were dark green with no variegation. 8 months later and the plant is better but there is still no obvious variegation in the leaves. I can see the edges of the leaves ever so slightly a lighter green but nothing like the photos. I've had the plant under grow lights with the same conditions as all my other variegated varieties that are thriving. From the other reviews it sounds like this one is slower to color up so I'm going to keep my fingers crossed this one shows some color soon! VB Note: For more variegation, grow it cooler--variegation is highly dependent upon temperature.
