Today I noticed a bloom on a shelf with plants that were being grown to blooming size from those that I tissue cultured. I could not visually identify it and went to the label on the container to see what it was. It was labeled as Part Fun. This is no “Party Fun”. click here to see Party Fun blooms. Party Fun has those broken blotches and patched of dark purple with a lighter purple on pink pinwheel typical of chimera African violets. As you can see below it has lost the randomized blotches of purple for the more organized pinwheel purple on pink pinstripes. I guess in this case for this plant a more appropriate name (based on its more conservative appearance) would be the “Party’s Over”.
Appears to be a sport of Party Fun.
