White Elephant

This beauty came last week and one leaf measures 3 inches long and has its first bloom. I believe its going to be one of my favorites. Thank you Violet Barn.

Yeah, it's going to be BIG!

Received the young plant, and already the leaves are huge with a 7 inch leaf span. Can't wait for this one to grow up!

Huge and Pure White

Yes! It's huge and it's pure! Contrast so well with its dark variegated foliage! I have mine put in the edge of the shelf. It seems to do be very light sensitive. A delicate plant :)

This was a huge hit with my mom. This plant arrived with 2 large white flowers and several buds. She said the plant was sturdy and very healthy.

Excellent Show Plant

This plant is an awesome show plant. It grows with ease and blooms so heavy with long lasting HUGE white stars that sit right about the foliage. My blossoms were 3" across. Perfect symmetry with tough durable foliage. Must grow for show in my opinion.

Beautiful, large and floriferous plant with huge frilly white flowers. Dependable bloomer with nice variegation (a lot more than the photo shows and quite pretty). I've had this one for 4 years and would say definitely worth trying!

Beautiful! Well-packaged

I just received the shipment and absolutely appreciate the attention to detail that went into ensuring the plant arrives in excellent shape. The plant I received already has a bloom and is absolutely gorgeous! The entire plant looks very healthy as well. I am guilty of buying African Violets from a grocery store and none of them survived. Thus, I am very much impressed at how healthy this arrived in my front door. At the same time, I would like to thank the seller for the detailed instructions. I feel set-up for success in caring for my beautiful White Elephant. Thank you!

I purchased this plant several years ago and I absolutely love it. It is a profuse bloomer, blooms year round all the time. I grew several and just recently gave one to a co-worker. The white blooms are very very white and large. I have a collection of violets and this is one of my favorites.

Big

This morning I pulled out one of my 'Ma's White Elephant' plants from the back of my stand. I thought it had some nice flowers on it. To my surprise...what I thought was 2 flowers, was one HUGE double white star!! It's nearly a full 3 1/2 inches across! I could not believe my eyes nor my ruler!! White Elephant is a large grower for me..this sized flower is a first! PS...I put down a leaf of my old White Elephant. I kept 5 of the resulting baby plants. All of them have grown to be monster plants far bigger than my original. These 'elephants' are living up to their namesake.

Ma's White Elephant

If you'd like a white flower that's a PURE white without color intrusion, then you'll love this plant. It has strong stems that hold the big semi double stars high above the foliage. It has also proved to be hardy plant for me. We lost power during a snow storm. It got pretty cold in here and I lost some plants....but not White Elephant. We have summer heat going now, and it's keeping it's variegation beautifully. Mine is a large grower, so if you get this one, you might want to get a support ring. This is a very showy plant that visitors to my home always comment on. Cheryl Burkley
