Beautiful plant
I've had this plant for about 2 years now & it's absolutely gorgeous, I've gotten some very beautiful intense variegation on the leaves & really adore the blue thumbprint on the flower
My Favorite!
I bought 6 miniatures and Ma’s Secret Child in June. I couldn’t have been more happy with the health of the plants and the great packaging. Secret Child is my favorite because it blooms so profusely even though I am a rank beginner. It has inspired me to buy some more standard violets.
Pretty But Drops Blooms
Got this plant for my mother and am a bit disappointed. It’s pretty but a lot paler than I expected and it drops it’s blooms. Conditions are probably affecting the color and can be adjusted but I can’t do anything about the blooms falling off.
Blooms Profusely
Easy to grow. Deep lovely color
Best Performance
I ordered nine Violets for the first time. They all came in great shape during the winter. They have survived my learning curve except for one. It took a while to bloom but was not disappointed with the profusion of blooms - both color and shape and it's currently my strongest with the size of foliage all just as pictured.
A favorite!
This plant is easy to grow, frequently blooms beautiful flowers. I am very happy with this Ma’s variety! With other Ma variety plants I have tried I haven’t had success keeping a thriving plant
Favorite Gift Plant
Ordering this one in February AGAIN, this time for a Mother’s Day gift, because it takes a lot of abuse and thrives. (LOL: Not sure how much of a green thumb the recipient has.). Suggest you order well in advance of gift-giving day to give plants time to recover from the shock of shipping and come to a blooming state. Watching plants mature and develop is part of the fun for the plant lover, so don’t feel intimidated by buying YOUNG plants. Common sense will tell you that they cannot ship fully mature ones. Brenda
Ma's Secret Child
I had admired this beauty previously. It was unavailable for a while, so I kept checking back. Once it was back on the site, I quickly ordered one. It arrived with one open flower and several buds. It is beautiful. Don't hesitate to get this AV. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Violet Barn.
So Pretty
Every plant I get is lovely. I am so happy I found this site. This plant in particular is very unique and stunning.
My favorite
I have had this one for about 3 years, and it is gorgeous. I think this is my favorite AV in a collection of about 40. I highly recommend.
Beautiful Little Plant!!
I received my African violet about 2 weeks ago and I love it!! I was very impressed with how it was packaged. I can tell the people at the Violet Barn really try and make sure that the plants arrive to their destinations safely. That being said, one of my leaves did break during shipping, and was only hanging on by a thread. The crown of the plant wasn't damaged though! I cut the damaged leaf off of the stem and so far, that stem hasn't grown a new leaf. However, other stems have grown from the crown and covered it so that you can't even tell. There are no blooms yet; however, from when it was unpackaged, it has relaxed and been growing steadily! I can't wait to see it once it reaches it's full size!! Thank you Violet Barn!
It's a KNOCKOUT !
This violet is so unique in its coloration that's it's a must have for a collector . It grows nice and neatly and blooms well ! I'm a sucker for the blues and I love this one !
So bright and cheerful
Clear bright colors! Beautiful AF! Love the delicately ruffled edges of petals!
beautiful
love this one. Love the contrasting colors. I get a lot of compliments on this one.
Perfect Grower
It's a perfect, symmetrical grower and has nice soft colors. Love this one!
Beautiful!
I am a first time customer,ordered this little beauty. It arrived in great shape and with buds on it already! So excited!
Gorgeous plant
I love violets and am so happy to find the Violet Barn! What gorgeous flowers and such a great reputation! Ma's Secret Child stood out to me and since so many people love it, I know it will be a perfect addition to my home!
Love the color of this plant
This plant always looks perfect, the blooms are big and mine is a true lavender color with white. I also love the white tipped leaves so it always looks nice even when not blooming.
Awesome!
This was the only standard I bought a couple or so years ago in my haul of minis. it is amazingly strong and a great bloomer! it definitely making me want to get more standards in my next haul! i LOVE the leaves. SO pretty.
Great plant, lots of flowers
I had never ordered violets online before, but decided to give it a try, more choices than what is available locally, but was hesitant out of concern of how they would transport. The plants came in great shape, Ma's secret child grew very symmetrical, and has tons of flowers, and the flowers have lasted for quite a while. Am very happy, have ordered more plant.
Definitely A Must Have!
One of the first plants I ordered from VB over a year ago. This plant shapes quite easily, it has a beautiful white variegation, and a nice blue thumbprint over its white frilly petals; however, I think its most defining characteristic is its profuse blooming habits, especially as a fully mature plant.
Fantastic plant, fantastic service
I just received this plant as a gift. It is my favorite. But the best part are the excellent shipping conditions that makes the plants survive when an enthusiastic postman shoves a package into a mailbox of not quite the same dimensions. The extra bubble-wrap absolute insure 100% safe arrival of all live plants. It is such a joy to carefully unwrap each part of the total package. Thank you so much!
Quick to bloom....large blossoms
This is a lovely plant, color a bit paler on my plant under artificial lights...Very quick to bloom with large blossoms......A hardy plant, quick grower....nice addition to any collection.
This is a great bloomer!
I love this plant! What a healthy, free-blooming cultivar! Clear color, nice blossom size and shape... with strong and evenly-spaced foliage.
Fantastic Plant
I ordered this plant approx. 1 year ago. It was not blooming when it arrived, but within a month or less, it was covered with blooms and has been a constant bloomer. I also started a leaf which is now full grown and also covered with blooms, and it bloomed true with the lovely purple thumbprint.
Cute!
Very cute little plant, blooming like crazy, very healthy and happy in my windowsill. The blue is paler than the photo, perhaps because its in a window, but very nice.
Big and Beautiful!
Another Beauty By Olive Robinson, this plant is always in bloom and has beautiful leaves too! You won't be disappointed, I love this plant! :)
