Almost lost this one
So this one took longer than most to bloom full on. And let me tell you its stunning and the one everyone asks about when they see my collection. Slow growing but strong growing. It was affected with mildew qnd and frost because i moved. And was down to 3 or 4 leaves and now its back to almost adult size and hopefully flowering for me soon. Iv got to say very hardy plant that can tolerate over watering to a point and also neglect of watering. For its stunning blooms its a very hardy plant.
Wow

Nice little plant
I have had this plant for about 8 months, and it has just started to bloom. The flowers are a softer version of the colors in the pictures on this website, but are beautiful!!!!
Worth the wait!
This was one of my first purchases from violet barn. Right away it was a big plant broad leaves edged with whitish pink. But it was slow grower for me but boy was the wait worth it. It is now 8inches across and in full bloom and it is by far my favorite flower! Mine bloomed just like the picture showed it would. Must buy for any serious AV collector.
Ready to bloom
I bought the pink beetle 6 months ago. It had 3 small but healthy little leaves. I've had it in a cool sunroom for the winter but it has settled in and grew nicely these 6 months. Late Feb now and it has grown to 16 leaves with pink edges on the innermost 5 new leaves. Also emerging are flower buds! I am ready to transplant to a 4 inch pot and a new growing season. Anxious to see the blooms that are on the way.
