I do not believe this leaf chimera is a registered plant in the AVSA data base called first class. Never the less it is a popular chimera leaf African violet and nicely symmetrical. Now if you do not maintain the plant, it will send out small shoots and if you do not remove them and let it grow without “grooming it” the result is the below image. Yes this is the exact plant as above 2 years later.
You can see that unlike the 1st image where there is a leader and the leaves all are very symmetrically organized, the above plant is not. What we see here is multiple leaders and some do not have the chimera genetics and the leaves on those are solid green and apparently are blooming strongly. This blooms are the same color of blooms on the chimera leaf plants. Below are two images of this plant from two sides showing the all green lead and a second chimera leaf lead. Click on any of the images to get an enlarged image.
The end result to this is that I will have to literally cut out each of the multiple leads and root them. The solid green leaf leads will be discarded.
