simply special
Many of the new "hybrids" look almost fake to me. This species has an elegant simplicity. I appreciate that the Violet Barn offers this plant so we can enjoy its beauty.
Happy Re-acquaintance
Sometimes it's nice to get back to basics. This is the African Violet of my childhood, before I was introduced to the amazing hybrids. This particular SP variety blooms a lot! There are always a new flush of buds coming in. It's very easy to grow, and delightful to see.
Very good performer in it's own right!
I like this plant in my collection, just to remind myself how much work has been done by hybridizers working to make a variety of colorful new cultivars. However, this species is a very good performer in it self!
Species violets
I’ve been purchasing from Violet Barn for many years. The plants always arrive in beautiful shape, sometimes blooming. I appreciate selection of Species Violets as after over 50 years of growing violets the species are my main concentration now.
Full of the natural beauty of Nature!
While I love all the hybrids, this one has a glow of natural beauty that is unsurpassed! Mine grows slightly upright, just enough to get a glimpse of burgundy and pink on the underside of the leaves. The flowers are a glowing violet. I have a rabbt foot fern growing atop a candle holder and surrounded it with species violets so that they are growing under a fern canopy. Together they create a picture of the untouched beauty of nature.! Spectacular!
