" What's a chimera? According to Webster's dictionary, a "chimera" is a "living structure or organism in which the tissues are of varied genetic origin". What does this mean? Unlike other violets which, when propagated by leaf cuttings, will typically produce plantlets ("babies"), identical in appearance to the "mother" plant, this cannot be done with chimeras (the babies will look different than the mother plant). Why? because the tissues are of "different genetic origin" for each leaf, or plant part"
Here is a picture of a Chimera that has an eye and light blue strip. Cool Touch (S. Sorano) Single chimera white frilled star/light blue stripe, eye. Medium green, plain. Standard
