Ma's Pillow Talk

I ordered this plant last fall... It was tiny ,but healthy... It arrived and was a bit wobbly... It took a while for it to "hold on" to the soil... But it did...and it's growing wonderfully...can't wait for her first blooms! Love this one!

Lovely plant

Got this a while back and still waiting on blooms. It is growing nicely and the color is coming in on the edges. Been a very easy plant to grow for me.

Beautiful thriving plant

This is my first Ma's Pillow Talk. It has beautiful variegated foliage and I am looking forward to seeing it bloom. My little plant arrived very healthy and I really appreciate the extra care taken with packaging and shipping.

Soft like a pillow

The booms on this violet are a beautiful soft cream color & so relaxing to look at! Then there is the variegation. What’s not to love about this one.

Ma’s Pillow Talk

The second one I purchased with the same disappointing results......double crowns The first did not survive (1st time I separated a double crown) With the 2nd one I sacrificed one and this time I succeeded (Maybe) Ihave beautiful white blooms but they are growing on one side of the plant. However the other day I noticed that the other side is putting out buds.We shall see. Since this happened twice to the same plant.......is this normal for this plant to do this and why not an FYI to warn us of this fate Slightly discouraged,Barbara

Growing Really Well

Great plant!

I was given Ma’s Pillow Talk as a gift & really love it! It is such a strong & hardy plant with really tight growth. I am growing it in the windowsill & it is doing great. It is still young, but has been blooming really well for me. I’m looking forward to getting more of Ma’s violets.

Ma's Pillow Talk

Lovely large flowers, steady bloom, and nice variegation in the leaves. I love just the hint of green in the petals. It also has a nice shape overall, no fussy training of leaves needed for a beautiful plant.

Ma's Pillow Talk

Received plant on March 2 2016, and it sure didn't didn't look healthy. It now has about 4 leaves and they are not as green as the photo, very washed out and pale almost diseased. I have now given the plant fertilizer, seems to be growing.

Love this One!

I received my plant several weeks ago. I love the "perfectness" of this plant. It was blooming when it arrived and has continued being its beautiful self constantly. I'm so pleased!

Trying again

I purchased 3 violets two years ago and none of the plants made it. I grow violets successfully but for some reason these just didn't look good when I got them and didn't make it. I am going to try again since all my violets have color and I would love to have white. Wish me luck!

Gorgeous Variegation

This plant has very large white pansies that make a great contrast against the very heavy variegation of the leaves. It blooms profusely but the plant is beautiful even when not in bloom. One of my very favorites.

Nice plant

"I received this plant from The Violet Barn last year and it continues to be one of my favorites

Center of Attraction

I have had Mas Pillow Talk for 5 years. It is always the center of attraction whether in bloom or not. The large leaves are heavily varigated & an exciting specimen just for this feature, alone. Folks are always saying that they have never seen anything like it; neither did I before I bought it. It's rewaards don't stop with its foliage, however. When in full bloom, it's an outstanding center pience. I have never written a review before. This violet deserved one.
