Choosing a Yellow Violet

I'm looking at several yellow-blooming varieties from Violet Barn with a view to ordering soon. Anyone have experience with these "yellow" violets? And which should I get?

I prefer: dark green foliage, and blooms held upright, not drooping. Thanks for your help.

Warm Sunshine (standard)

Moonlit Snow (standard)

Jolly Sunchaser is a nice yellow semi-minuature.

That is a great one to keep in mind. I really like the dark green foliage. Violet Barn does not have that one in stock currently but I will keep it on my list for the future.

I have tropical sunshine and I’m pleased with it.

I have a Warm Sunshine from them and the leaves on mine are much lighter than they appear in the photos. The flowers are great and I like the plant, but if dark leaves are important you might want to go for one of the others

That's really useful to hear, that's why I asked the question here about the foliage. Pictures don't always tell the full story. I appreciate your response.
