Beautiful foliage
I bought this plant a few months ago. The foliage is very unusual and beautiful with yellow centers. The picture doesn't do justice. The rosette is gorgeous. The plant hasn't bloomed yet but it has atleast doubled in size. I have no doubt that the pink blooms will offer a good contrast to the foliage. I highly recommend this plant for all violet growers and you will not be disappointed.
Adorable!!!
Yes, this pint sized small violet is very adorable! The foliage is captivating, over all this plant keeps its shape and has remained a “small standard variety”. However, this plant is fussy about its location in my collection and doesn’t bloom very often. The unusual foliage more than makes up for this. Overall a wonderful plant and one I recommend you add to your collection!
Beautiful small standard
Beautiful girl foliage, gorgeous blooms!! Mine a little fussy, sometimes misbehaving, giving suckers!! Like it anyway!!
Strong Girl!
Although USPS sent my box to PA via Las Vegas in the heat of the summer this girl bounced right back. Her girl foliage is well behaved and strong. She propagates very easily. I haven’t seen any blooms as yet, because my plant is still very young. I can tell she’ll be a compact, tidy grower, which I like. Come on blooms! Really, I love her, even without them. I can’t wait until Violet Barn starts putting out more of Ma’s again.
Beautiful Girl!!!
Ma's Melody Girl arrived in perfect condition. I love how the blooms match the center of the foliage. She's a great addition to my collection.
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.
Very Fancy!
The flowers on this one are even better than the photos! They look like they were drawn with colored pencils and have some subtle streaks in them with a fine white edge. I am a fan of girl foliage and the leaves are very pretty. Mine is growing in a 3" pot and seems to be doing well in it. I mostly grow minis and was drawn to the fact that this is a small standard.
My favorite girl
I’ve grown this little standard a couple of times before, and it’s one of those plants I always want to have. She’s really my favorite girl!
Girl Foliage
So happy to see this one in this year’s sales rotation. I had it many years ago and loved it, but gave everything to good homes in order to make a long distance move. I usually prefer only the larger standards, but the uniqueness of this plant, especially the foliage, makes it worth violating my preferences. I know, from experience, that I will not be disappointed
Adorable and so well-behaved
Ma’s Melody Girl has been growing perfectly and starting to form blooms. The shape of the leaves is quite different and pleasant to look at even without flowers. I love all of the Ma’s series, but this one is special.
Girl Foliage & Beautiful Blooms
I love this plant!
Ma's Melody Girl
Love the girl foliage on Ma's Melody girl and can't wait for her to bloom !
Love this girl!
Melody Girl arrived last week, along with 3 other new friends. She was beautifully and securely packaged, and is already blooming! Can't wait to watch her grow up!
Great Plant To Grow!
I purchased this plant 5 years ago from the Violet Barn and it is still growing strong! It is one of my favorite violets, with unique foliage and lovely flowers. I highly recommend this plant!
Another Great Ma's Hybrid!
I love Ma's hybrids and try to buy one every year. This was one of my picks in 2019 and it did not disappoint. The doll foliage kept the plant compact making it a perfect candidate for being under the grow light this winter. Once the plant grew into its new pot it bloomed and bloomed and bloomed. The color matched the photo with the lighter background with the yellow eye being a nice contrast to the darker pink. I would highly recommend having this in your plant collection.
Meldoy Girl is Fun!
Melody Girl is fun to grow and has beautiful - and different - foliage. I liked that it was a rather compact plant - very easy to handle and place.
Easy girl foliage!
I've grown Ma's Melody Girl for a couple years and the center doesn't bunch up! The leaves look relaxed and it blooms regularly. If you have problems growing girl foliage give it a try.
Keeps on Singing
Blooms are brighter in person. This one transitioned easily to my laid back style of growing violets under LED cabinet lights and a weekly 30 minute water soaking.
Beautiful
I have had this plant for a couple of years and it’s just beautiful!
The prettiest "Girl"
A very hardy plant with the prettiest blooms of any of the "girl" leaves I've seen.
Fantastic Plant!
I love everything about this plant! Love the blooms & girl foliage!
Fantastic Plant!
I love everything about this plant! Great blooms & girl foliage!
One of my favorites
This is a good plant! It grows very slowly for me, and has an upright growth habit under my conditions, but it is sturdy, the leaves are gorgeous, and the flowers are more incredible than the pictures. No regrets.
Hardy Girl
This violet by far the hardiest I've gotten from VB. Every vacation and temperature fluctuation I lose a plant or two, plus tons of wilted leaves. Ma's Melody Girl has survived them all and thrived no matter the conditions. It blooms quite often if left to its own devices. I find it grows more as a mound than a spiral, but it is not unruly. Overall, a fine plant, especially if you are not a gardening micromanager.
Love this plant!
Love the blooms & girl foliage on this plant! One of my favorites!
Excellent plant
I have had this plant since 2016 and I adore it.. the flower colors are fantastic. this plant will become unruly if given too much light... for me, it does best in a window with slightly less fertilizer than my other plants
Lovely and Hardy
This lovely girl leafed violet is one of my favorites. She is super hardy along with being beautiful and a profuse bloomer. I had to leave town for 3 months, I had a neighbor watering plants. As you can imagine some where worse for ware, but Ma's Melody Girl made it through like a champ, not only was she healthy but she was blooming when I returned. This is the top violet I give as a gift.
Awesome plant
This violet is awesome. The flowers are very pretty and the "girl" leaves make it just a little unique. Seems easy to grow also. Highly recommend.
lovely plant with great unusual foliage
I love how much interest this plant adds to my collection! the flower color is even better in person.
Little Lady
My little lady is not growing and has not bloomed yet. If someone knows what this little girl likes please let me know. I grow all my violets under florescent lights and I've moved her around to see if this helps. Need help. We don't get many ladies and I hope she makes it.
Pretty but slow growing for me!
I love the look of this pretty little plant -- the foliage is gorgeous and very dark. I can already tell that she is going to have excellent form. I'm just a little surprised how slowly she grows. My other plants have doubled in size and she's only grown about a quarter as much bigger. Still, I can't wait until she blooms and I'm really looking forward to exhibiting her in the future!!
Lovely Girl Plant
Love this plant with girl foliage and beautiful blooms!
makes a perfect show plant
delightful symetrical plant..beautiful color of flowers
Great plant!
This is a lovely plant with girl foliage and beautiful blooms.
My favorite girly plant
This plant is a beauty, it grows symmetrical and stays on the smaller side of a standard. The girl leaves really make this plant stand out.
Beautiful
This is a gorgeous little plant with very girly girl leaves. I love this plant and it seems to stay on the small side, which is good since I have limited space. You won't regret having this in your home.
My Very Best Girl Foliage AV
I love this AV! Every time I look at her I have to smile. Unlike some of my other "girls", she grows nicely symmetrical. As the product information says, she is a well-behaved girl! You can't go wrong with Melody Girl!
A Favorite!
Unique foliage makes this one of my favorites! Blooms are quite attractive and long lasting. Very true to picture.
Truly "Well-Behaved"!
Lovely plant, doesn't get too big and the foliage is beautiful. There aren't too many girl foliage plants out there, so if you're looking for one, I'd highly recommend "Ma's Melody Girl". The blooms are pretty as well, though in my experience it's more of a moderate bloomer.
Great Girl!
Love this cultivar! Nice girl foliage and beautiful bright blooms. Stays compact and isn't a super large cultivar. Sometimes has a tendency for markings on the older leaves.
Stephanie George
I highly recommend this sweet violet. The foliage is beautlful, and so shiny. I am a mammographer and have Ma's Melody girl in my exam room- she always get's the most attention of all my violet's!
Love this plant
Adorable little plant - tidy, pretty leaves, vivid, long-lasting blooms.
Prettiest Girl
I purchased this plant a couple of months ago and it is already blooming. Such an eye catcher. Everyone who sees my collection always comments on how beautiful this plant is. Thanks so much for your beautiful plants.
Perfect Combination
Perfect girl foliage! The flowers, profuse and beautiful, are suspended stunningly above the lovely leaves that are a pleasure to gaze at! This is the absolute favorite in my collection hands down!
One of my favorites!
I grow this one in ground coconut husk, and it's been doing real well for me, I love the bright Pink w/thin white edge and the beautiful dark curly leaves. It's one of my favorites, I really love it so much.
Gorgeous foliage
This plant is a must have! I love girl foliage and this plant has amazing girl foliage - just like in the picture. Of all my girl foliage plants this one is the best. The flowers aren't bad either ;)
