I recently purchased this african violet and now its blooming. One flower has 2 white pollen sacs, another has one yellow one white, and the rest of the flowers are all normal yellow. Is this what you'd call albino pollen sacs? How rare is this?

I want to get seeds and try and grow more flowers with white pollen sacs instead of yellow. Should I take the pollen and fertilize the flowers from this plant that produced the white, or another flower on a different plant? what has best odds?
