Ma's Melody Girl

Average Rating 4.9 out of 5

An apt name.

Ma’s Melody Girl would be a pianist if she were human. A doctor ( botany) working at Oklahoma State University introduced me to Ma’s Melody Girl. So what is a melody? A melody is a collection of notes, or tone. She is certainly that. Ma’s Melody Girl has helped educate university students! She’s a great example in many ways. She does well in tissue culture. She is a hardy plant. She has glossy unique foliage. Her eye catching coloring is contrasted further by white. She has a wonderful growing habit. I dare say she is a little orchestra.

Beautiful little girl

Just love the foliage and compact size of this small AV!!! Flowers are as pictured, beautiful and long lasting. Highly recommend.

Perfect foliage, blooms, & size!

I already have a violet like this and just ordered another. I love the glossy, quilted, wavy leaves with lighter green veins in the center. They're a great pleasure to look at even if the plant didn't also have gorgeous blooms! I hope Violet Barn always carries these. The "small growing standard" size is perfect for me, as I want to keep all my violets in 4" pots, yet my shelves don't permit huge 12" wide plants in every slot. Violet Barn, thanks for selling some wonderful compact violets!

Sweet Little Must Have

I ordered one of these because my mother had one in her collection of violets. She is the reason I have so many!!! This beauty is compact and has such bright cheery blooms with the most unusual leaves. It’s one of my very favorites!

What a bloomer,

This girl blooms all the time. She comes back into bloom again before you know it. The blooms are gorgeous & she is a compact grower. It is easy to find room on your shelf for this one & well worth it.
