Rob's Suicidal Squirrel

I'm wanting to like this little plant and it grows very well in my window but the color of the leaves is nothing like the picture above and when it does flower; the blooms do not stay long. The plant is very healthy but the foliage color is not attractive at all.

Delightful

A delightful plant with beautiful leaves & pretty red flowers.

Exceeded expectations

As usual with any plants from violet barn, this guy has exceeded any expectations. No blooms yet,.bur it's taken me a minute to figure out my violets. The foliage is absolutely stunning!!

In love with the leaves

I haven’t ordered this but I’ve read the reviews and I know this will be one of my next orders The leaves in themselves would want to put this in collection. Ann Griffin

In love!

So pretty! Much much pretty then the pics. The leaves are beautiful don’t even need flowers!

Amazing leaf color

This plant is worth growing for the leaves alone. The color/pattern of the variegation changes with the season (temp of the room) in ways none of my other violets do - always enjoyable. This plant also grows well, shapes well. The flowers are a bonus, and it blooms freely.

Amazing coloration in its leaves

Just received this wonderful violet. I am in awe of the coloration in its leaves. The plant was packed extremely well and arrived in great condition.

Rob's Suicidal Squirrel

Most adorable violet I have ever seen! Beautiful silvery pink/lavender and dark green foliage. Just stunning. Can't wait to see it bloom.

Beautiful Foliage

Rob's Suicidal Squirrel is a neat little violet. The variegated leaves are beautiful and very thick growing. Can't wait for it to bloom.

Rob’s Suicidal Squirrel

What a great little plant this is! It has perfect form with interesting variegated foliage. It is growing strong and healthy for me, and I can’t wait to see it bloom. Don’t pass this one up!

Suicidal Squirrel

I am thrilled with receiving all the little beauties today! Every one of them is in perfect condition but without any blooms yet. Suicidal Squirrel is such a precious mini with lovely variegated leaves with cream and pink coloration showing at the crown. Already it is a strong plant waiting to begin making blooms. This is a great choice.

Buy this plant!

I am making a second purchase of this plant. You will receive a thoughtfully packaged wonder that is sure to impress. I was astounded by the variegated leaves and the lovely blooms. Sadly, my daughter’s vile parking lot puma? Was also impressed and she left nothing behind. After apocalypse meow? I made the decision to no longer grow any miniatures or semi-miniatures. Besides this one, because it was that awesome.

Perfect plant!

This little beauty arrived today on perfect condition! Thank you Violet Barn for packing my plants so well! You are the best! Love my new plants!

Love the name, foilage and flowers!

This is one of my favorite plants...the beautiful blooms really compliment the interesting foliage. Mine blooms almost all the time!

Non-suicidal!

I had the same plant (and offshoots thereof) for almost 10 years. You have to try to kill it. It kept coming back and was very easy to propagate. Highly recommended! Freebie

Funny name, beautiful violet

This cute little violet is simply teriffic. It's name made me buy it, it's beauty made me want to always have it in my collection.

HIllary Norris May 06 2018, 15:30 PM

Love this!

I have always skimmed over this plant and never bought it until recently. I get more compliments on this plant than on any other of my small plants. Don’t be fooled by the pic, it’s actually more beautiful in person. Even the violet pros, mistake this plant for something else. It is a must have!

Kathalina McGinnis Apr 30 2018, 13:35 PM

Stunning!

Received this little beauty and i love the foiliage and cant wait to see her in bloom. Thanks VB, you’re the best!

Excellent name

I love showing off this little violet. Not only because the name is hillarious, but the plant is lovely, with or without flowers. Mine flowered pink. The flowers on the minis are beautiful. I will be a customer as long as violet barn keeps growing. The quality cannot be found elsewhere. Thank you for the very fine violets.

Suicidal Squirrel

I received this little guy when I purchased seller's pick over a year ago. This has become one of my favourite mini's. I love the foliage, and it shapes very nice on its own. I also love the creative name. I can't help but wonder how it came to be. I imagine a squirrel running across the road in front of a fast moving car. My husband and I have long talks about these plant names and their meanings. I guess..."if you have to ask, you'll never know". VB note: you are exactly right as to the origins of the name.

Beautiful Leaves, Compact grower

I love this little plant! The leaves have gorgeous variegation with a pink tinge. Nice semi-miniature growth habit and vibrant blooms.

Wayne Berman Apr 23 2016, 00:35 AM

Excellent Show Plant

This is a excellent plant to grow for show, it shapes itself without any work. I highly recommend.

Perfect Miniature

I do miniature floral designs and Rob's Suicidal Squirrel has won me a number of blue ribbons. The blossoms are small--which is perfect!

Joe Rouse Mar 25 2014, 13:35 PM

Beautiul!

This plant arrived in perfect condition and in bud. The foliage is lovely and I love the blossoms. It is a wonderful addition to my collection

Lynda Lyday Aug 28 2013, 18:50 PM

great show plant!

This little plant shapes itself and is an excellent choice for a show plant. It is a profuse bloomer--highly recommended for the novice as well as advanced grower.
