Hardy and beautiful
I got one flush of lovely ruffly coral blooms from this plant, and they were beautiful! I haven't seen any more for a while, though. I'm mostly here to say this is
One. Tough. Plant.
My cat knocked it off the shelf and broke it badly. (He did it deliberately, too.) I didn't expect it to survive, but it's coming back and looking healthy, albeit lopsided. I kept one of the broken leaves to try to propagate, and again, didn't expect much, as my success in this area is spotty. But the leaf sent up new growth surprisingly quickly, and I wound up with three crowns in its pot. Didn't expect all of them to survive, especially after I divided them, since my success in that isn't real great either. But they are all alive and flourishing, and I am both amazed and delighted. If you're a novice grower (or a cat owner), I can recommend this plant wholeheartedly,
Beautiful 2-inch (Dusty) Coral Blossoms
Beautiful plant with huge 2-inch (dusty) coral blossoms and well-trained foliage! These huge blossoms will be perfect for use in a design division at shows. (Please note: The blossom color is definitely a shade of coral. It is not the intense, bright coral color displayed in Violet Barn’s photo.) In natural light, the blossom color is more like a beautiful medium dusty coral red. These huge frilly (dusty) coral star blossoms have an antique look which reminds me of a beautiful bouquet of carnations.
not coral
I have Strawberry Kiss and it's blooming as a dull off-red with thin white stripes (like a chimera??). More and more I find that varieties do not bloom true to descriptions. But I can't blame Violet Barn, beacuse it's from all sources. If anything, VB varieties come most true!
Very pretty blossoms... but the color is off
The petals on this African Violet are stunning; however the color is nothing like what is depicted. The picture shows a light coral but the violet I received has sort of mauve pink or "dusty rose" color blooms. I was hoping for that lovely coral color. Perhaps on it's second bloom...
