Sonoma Grandma Rose yeah you should get some pink babies ! I planted a baby up almost all pink who lost her Mom and she died :(( It's like having an all white plant plant with too much variegation they most get some green 99 percent of the time before Mom dies.
Oh Russian Snow Leopard was never white. Yes weird name it's the english name but it's Russian. I was sent a leaf by Bluebirds when the one leaf I ordered was out of stock. The one I ordered had lots of green in it and I really wanted it. But I said no refund just send a Russian leaf any. They were not selling this plant yet ( they are now) I assumed it was going to be white. Even though I have an all white Russian Yan Selna ( Now being Spelled Ian Selena I understand both ways are correct) It's white . Did I send you one of them also ? I have extras progates super if you'd like one.
I noticed yesterday the AVSA registered Sport List many plants added to it some Russians Sports and some Russians have now been registered this is one plant that has been registered.
I sent you info on your Russian Snow Leopard !
Ok in the registration they did not put english name I wish they had. But you can see the picture of what they are supose to look like at Bluebird or Russian sight
This is info for Russian " Snow Leopard" now Registered.; and can be show at shows if blooming true.

Many plants on the Sport list have Sported to 1-3 or more names different plants ~ lauris plant though all came from one leaf grew up in same pot same Mom all lok different.
April yours may need trans-planting and suckers taken off. I have several suckers I am growing they will be first generation as they came from my Mom plant. I want to see if my sport is stable and how they bloom, The crowns grow very fast and will bloom in no time compared to a leaf. Though I did put a leaf or two down and babies are coming up fast from it too. They will all be 1st. generation. Then is these bloom the same I can sicker or leaf progate ( I will probaly do both again) to see how the second generation will bloom! I think the Sports are much more pretty. Matter of fact lauries is wild love it too as she has GREEN Chimera Stripes on hers !
I think your's is way large enough to bloom. So trans-planting it , suckers off, 12 or so hours a day of light, if in window put under lamp few hours at night, good feeding program and watering yours will be blooming ! I can't wait to see it.
My buds took a long time to form but were large, one bloom sltak got like 6-8 large flowers with still more buds opening. I do have all new buds forming o I can't wait for them to bloom again ! .
It is still blooming now from first blooms !
Oh I don't think my plant is much larger or the same size as yours Laurie too.
