Mom's Plant

This is a plant that we named for (Rob's) mom. A plant that she rescued, never repotted, rarely watered or fed, knocked to the floor numerous times by the cats, and bloomed nearly continuously for over a year in a dimly lit north window. We had to keep it and name it. It has lovely light blue blooms shaded darker purple.

A Hardy Little Plant

I purchased this cutie a couple of years ago. It did well until it got a leaf disease and almost died. One little piece of green leaf grew back and the plant recovererd and bloomed a few months later. I do not mist them in the evening any more. This plant has stayed small and manageable which I like. Would recommend.

Loaded with blooms!

I bought this pretty little girl about three months ago. Potted her up, and she seemed to settle in faster than the miniature violets that I potted at the same time. I didn't notice how much it had grown until -- suddenly -- two 6-to-8" stalks full of gorgeous blooms have shot up, and several more are in diferent stages of unfurling. Good! That means that it will be in bloom for a long, long time! The color is more lavendar/blue-violet than shown here (mine isn't at all pink) with velvety red-violet throats on the bottom petals. Love her!

Amazing

This plant by far has been my favorite streptocarpus to grow. It really is indestructible. I ordered this plant as a gift and forgot to take it out of the water bucket where I was watering it over the weekend while on vacation. It sat for 72 hours in large bowl filled with water and it was sitting out of the lights. I for sure thought I killed it off. When I came home the plant had grown significantly and had pushed out multiple bloom stalks in just 3 days. I was floored with the resiliency of this plant even after drowning it!! If there were more stars I would give it for this one! The flowers, foliage, annd growth pattern are amazing and I don’t have enough good things to say about this strep. Thank you Violet Barn!

It is Mom's plant

I love this plant and the story behind it. She is big and beautiful. No full flowers yet, but a few buds about ready to open. The size of this plant is big and she is bold, going to be a real beauty when she matures.
