Rob's Loose Noodle

Average Rating 5 out of 5

Blooms like crazy

I ordered 8 plants delivered here to Anchorage, Alaska in March - all of them arrived with no problems, in great shape, and several were in bloom! This plant took a little while to get going, but now is covered in blooms that look just like the picture.

Beautiful and healthy

All of the plants I've ordered so far have been beautiful healthy plants. I was so excited to find that my Robs Loose Noodle arrived already in bloom. Such a cute little mini, well packaged without a leaf out of place.

So healthy and cute!

I got Robs Loose Noodle as part of a sellers choice bundle and I’m loving it! Delicate light green leaves and spectacular blossoms that are bigger than the leaves! This one came with blossoms and more just keep coming! Everything was carefully packaged and shipped, not a single broken leaf!

Beautiful violet

Absolutely beautiful, I fell in love with the plant. So excited to receive it and watch the blooms!!

Large blooms

Some of the largest blooms that I have seen on a miniature violet and the flowers still don’t flop over.

Nicole Frink Apr 01 2023, 14:21 PM

Unbelievable blooms

This violet came with one bloom, now it has over 20 blooms ready to bloom.

Mary Kennedy Oct 09 2022, 20:01 PM

Super Cute!

This little plant is very showy, with proportionally large blooms. It starts blooming when quite small. Gorgeous cutie!

Lanchi Vo Apr 12 2022, 11:26 AM

Beautiful and low maintenance

This plant has been blooming faithfully since it started a couple months ago and has been very low maintenance - unlike most minis, no suckering so far! I love the clean shape and the beautiful contrast in the blooms.

Janis Theophanes Oct 15 2021, 09:35 AM

Great little mini violet.

This violet stays small and has the cutest flowers.

Virginia Heatter Oct 11 2021, 22:34 PM

Can't Wait

Great plant perfect shape. Can't wait for the blooms very excited for this one.

Marcella Cheesman Sep 03 2021, 14:59 PM

Ships great and looks awesome

I was super impressed with the condition this shipped in and how pretty it was in person. It has doubled in size since I bought it a few months ago. Waiting for it to flower. Can’t recommend these enough.

Danielle Carvalho Jul 06 2021, 20:56 PM

Vigorous Little Plant

This one grows really well and has beautiful flowers. I’ve only had it for about a year and it has already bloomed three times since then. Highly recommended if you want a mini that is easy to take care of.

Rachel Hindle Mar 28 2021, 19:17 PM

Beautiful

Beautiful contrast between the flowers and foliage. Easy to grow!

Diann Klotzbier Mar 23 2021, 16:28 PM

Love this one!

Loose noodle is so pretty! Mine arrived in excellent condition. It's grown nicely, with great shape all on its own. The first bloom was definitely profuse! A beautiful, full, bouquet over nice, symmetrical foliage. It's continuing to put up more buds. Looks just like the picture. Definitely one of my favorites.

Adorable mini

It blooms easily and happily. A well behaved little plant with lovely flowers.

Lindsey Sinclair Oct 22 2020, 00:54 AM

Lovely!

This Beautiful mini Definitely lived up to the description of being a dependable bloomer. It has bloomed several times since I received it and I have truly enjoyed the blooms! Even when it is not in bloom I enjoy the delicately pointed green foliage. I almost want to buy another one!

Elia Fajardo Jul 02 2020, 19:11 PM

So pretty!

Arrived with beautiful white and blue blooms! I can’t wait to see it grow!

Christl Shirey Aug 30 2019, 20:23 PM

GORGEOUS!

The blooms on Rob's Loose Noodle are so incredibly gorgeous, the detail is amazing! The blooms are abundant and absolutely sparkle. Don't hesitate to get this one!

Katherine Crawford Jul 25 2019, 13:14 PM

Simply beautiful

A friend of mine shared one of his own with me. Simply love the beautiful mixture of white and purple blue!

Isabella Lee Jul 23 2019, 20:26 PM

wow

Dr Rob was patient and instructive on suggestions for me to order. This pretty pretty plant arrived w four blooms and looked like a painting....beyond beautiful. Packing was just done in the most methodical painstaking manner- so many layers! All the plants arrived in perfect condition- not a bruised or bent leaf or petal.. very impressive. What was even more impressive was that our zone 9 temps of 100 degrees did not cook the plants. They layer with such protection Back to this plant- it is tiny and growing more pretty leaves in great symetry. Such a joy to behold! It already has more buds and is doing super well under grow lights as my windows are very shady and hubs took out all florescent lighting and forbade any in my kitchen.

Rob's Loose Noodle

Wow! When Dr. Rob says heavy, dependable bloomer, he really means it! I received Loose Noodle 5 weeks ago as part of an order of 10 miniatures. They are all doing well, but this little guy already has 10 open blossoms and at least 10 more buds. Picture color is true, but it's even lovelier in person. Thanks, VB.

Virginia Sullivan Jul 26 2018, 12:05 PM

Lotta Wow

I've shared this one with others, and it's always a welcome beauty!

Sam Cunningham Jul 10 2018, 09:40 AM

A spontaneous chimera!

Mine has changed into a stunning chimera with bright blue stripes on a white background!

Linda Mangold Jul 02 2018, 07:34 AM

Beautiful flowers

Beautiful flowers look just like the photo. Love it!

Timotha Trigg Apr 22 2018, 01:12 AM

Rob's Loose Noodle

This is one gorgeous baby. For a small plant, the blooms are huge. Of course, nobody packs violets for shipping better than Violet Barn. I have seen other sites for ordering violets, but I keep coming back to Violet Barn. This little one is so easy to take care of and really packs a punch. This might be my favorite violet, except for all the others that Violet Barn offers!

Carol Yankus Oct 09 2017, 22:18 PM

Beautiful

I made a large order and this violet is my favorite. The foliage is beautiful and it had three blooms within just a few weeks.

Anonymous Apr 27 2017, 23:35 PM

Long lived favorite

I have had this lovely mini for at least 12 years and it is always in bloom. It has survived several moves, just a wonderful, compact, dependable violet. Highly recommend!

Val Oct 16 2016, 14:15 PM

Forever Blooming

This is one of my favorites - it is constantly in bloom and forms a very nice rosette of leaves. It's so easy to care for - so much so I bought one for a friend. I'd highly recommend this one.

Paul Gerthoffer Aug 28 2016, 14:59 PM

Great violet

I've had this AV for over a year. It blooms constantly in my south facing window. I do need to remove a couple suckers now but I will put these in water and share with a friend!

Serena Chapla Jul 03 2016, 23:30 PM

Rob's Loose Noodles

Started budding shortly after receipt and now has very pretty and large flowers.

Marie Sandberg Jun 22 2016, 12:40 PM

Adorable

I rec'd this little plant in the spring on growers choice. What a wonderful surprise. The flowers look just like the picture. It stopped blooming in Aug., but now has buds on it again. This is a favorite.

Judy Tallman Sep 17 2015, 11:33 AM

Doesn't disapoint

Happy in its little pot and always in bloom!

Kristen Finn Sep 06 2015, 09:23 AM

My favorite of all of Rob's AVs

Constantly in bloom & easy to care for. One of the best minis. I lost mine in a house fire & I am replacing it. Great AV for beginners too.

love it

I got this plant a few days ago and was amazed at all the flowers on it and how fast it perked up after unpacking. Absolutely beautiful.

Anonymous Apr 25 2015, 00:12 AM

Awesome little plant!

I have had my Loose Noodle for almost three years now, and of all my semi miniature violets, this one is doing the best. It is easy to care for and blooms profusely and continuously. Definitely worth adding to your collection.

Kelly Sink Apr 23 2015, 08:47 AM

A favorite

Hardy plant which produces a lot of beautiful blooms. Reproduces easily. Nice foliage.

Mary Jane Weber Apr 19 2015, 15:53 PM

Rob's Loose Noodle

A great plant that is beautiful. It keeps it shape with little assistance and blooms consistently with very short rest periods. One of my favorites!

Elizabeth Baker Dec 30 2014, 21:30 PM

love my noodles

Not only was the packaging amazing...but this plant arrived with multiple blooms and many buds already on this plant. The coloration is just beautiful.

Kam Wong Nov 26 2014, 13:53 PM

ONE OF THE BEST!

I love all the Rob's I have, but this one especially. Grows perfectly symmetrical and the sweet little blooms are held nicely above the foliage. I have yet to enter one of my violets in a show, but this one could well be the first!!

Dorothea Widerski Oct 22 2014, 15:27 PM

beautiful?

A big flower blooms from a very small stock, and it is beautiful.

Etsuko Morita Jul 04 2014, 00:28 AM

loaded

Loose Noodle was give as a gift to my daughter last year. One year later, it is thriving and loaded. I mean loaded with gorgeous blooms. She enjoys it so much and takes photos of it frequently. Thank you for a great plant and service.

Elizabeth Delmaine Jun 26 2014, 08:41 AM

Suzanne

I have my violets under a grow light. This one is going crazy. The flower is even more striking than the picture shows. One of my favorites.

Suzanne Wagner Apr 27 2014, 11:12 AM

A precious miniature

I just received this little darling in full bloom, it is a MUST have for your collection.

Raina Snell Apr 03 2014, 20:34 PM

Loads of fun

A little plant with lots of beautiful purple and white blossoms. Easy to grow. I love it.

Linda I. Jun 11 2013, 21:03 PM

even prettier in real life!

My little plant arrived in great condition, and in heavy bloom/bud! The purple-throated star-shaped flowers are even prettier than the picture. I'm delighted with this plant and with the Violet Barn!

Maya S Oct 20 2012, 10:29 AM

Rob's Loose Noodle

I love this little guy and the beuatiful pattern of growth the leaves provide. Beautiful dainty blooms. Very hearty. I also love the name.

Marnie K Jul 30 2012, 10:53 AM

Whimsical little violet

The picture doesn't do this cutie justice! Leaves are gorgeous shades of green and gold, blooms are bigger that the leaves! Has been blooming since it arrived. I highly recommend buying this one!

Sarah May 22 2012, 19:48 PM

Loose Noodle

I started this from a leaf and just love it! One of my favorite violets. First bloomed on Mother's Day, so it was special treat. Would recommend this miniature to anyone...easy to grow with lots of blooms!

Dawn Studley May 15 2012, 15:48 PM

Lovely Little Violet

I inherited a few minis from my uncle. This violet has been easy to care for and is still going strong after 2 years in my care. I have been using a mini violet pot. Blooms frequently with nice clusters and pretty color. My little noodle is ready to repotted!

Beth May 12 2012, 23:00 PM

Rob's Loose Noodle
