Ma's Second Thoughts

Average Rating 4.8 out of 5

Stunning Variegated Foliage

I have had this plant for about 10 months now. This violet arrived heat damaged and I was given a refund for this violet and for other plants in this order. This was no fault of violet barn. The plants were packaged very well as usual. The box must have been left in the sun by usps at some point during the transit. This violet is quite hardy. It is one of the plants that recovered with some TLC and now looks gorgeous. The foliage is stunning as well as the double pink ruffled blooms with white edging. It grows quite flat with evenly spaced leaves. I strongly recommend this plant for all violet collectors.

Pictures don't do it justice!

Ma's Second Thoughts is absolutely gorgeous! I love her so much that I had to buy a second plant!

So pretty

I got this plant recently and it arrived with bloom or two, and nice variegated leaves. Three leaves were broken off, but that just gives me opportunities for more plants. I love the color of the flowers and the variegated leaves as well.

Ma’s Second Thoughts

Such a beauty! It is growing in leaps and bounds with great variegated leaves, definitely a show plant. It is still young so no blooms appearing yet, but this plant is gorgeous for the leaves alone. You will love her!

Very Pretty!

Just bloomed for the first time. Very pretty pink flowers. The variegated foliage is very pretty too.

Beautiful Dependable Plant

I've had Ma's Second Thoughts for some months, and since it has matured, it's constantly in bloom. The flowers have morphed from a delicate pink with a white edge, to the pink with a greenish edge. I love it either way. It has beautiful leaf variegation with a lovely symmetrical growth habit. One of my favorites!

My thoughts, on Ma's Second Thoughts!!

Ma's Second Thoughts is just now sending up it's first bloom and I am so excited to see what this plant does. The foliage is so pretty and I was so happy to receive this with my first 10 of your pick, my first order. So far this young plant is beautiful!!

Beautiful Pink Blossoms and Always in Bloom!

I received many plants from the Violet Barn and this one has remained in constant bloom. I have it in my kitchen window and it keeps blooming and blooming.

Always in bloom!

This variety is one of my top ten varieties of all time! It seems to adjust to any growing condition, and blooms at a young age. It disbuds well, and puts up TONS of blooms even if left to grow naturally! One word of caution: it may resent heavy, wet soil. Just make sure it is in good AV soil and don't be careless with watering habits. :) Overall, highly recommended!
