I have grown the chimera African violet, Yachiyo Tabata in the past. This very robust plant sends off these exceptional blooms of semidouble-single star bloom with pink/purple fantasy streaks with white stripes. This chimera has medium green leaves. What caught my attention with one of the bloom stalks of the Yachiyo is that the pink edging on the petals was a bit wider and a bit more color intensity than the other Yachiyo Tabata (compare above with below). So the bloom stalk of the below plant will be removed and cultured. We shall see if in fact a strain of Yachiyo with a bit more intense pink can be produced.
