Strange stuff happens. Sometimes when you propagate a fantasy flower from leaf, they revert like this. These are the first blooms from a leaf cutting of Neptune's Jewels and I got two different flower colors on the same plant - on the same crown, no less. The white one is the true color. Notice the third flower stem is going to be purple too.
That looks so neat. Luv both colors.

How very pretty!
the purple one is even prettier now.
Keyring,
From now on you are Ms. AV. That is a real beauty. Where did you get the double blosom avs?
The original (i.e, the whiter one) fantasy flower came from Robs Violet. The blue one - which I love, by the way - is a reversion. When you propagate AVs from leaf, this kind of thing sometimes happens. Apparently it is more common with fantasy blooms than with other kinds of flowers. I'm hoping I can isolate it and keep a blue one as a separate plant.
You know, I only grow a handful of AVs these days, and this is probably one of one or two or three standard sized ones I have left.

I love these fun cool plants. Sold mine to nice folks that came to our home and bought a lot of plants. They bought my large Russian Snow Baby And Guelph's Christmas and more also !
Yes- the Little Chatterbox I got from Bluebird has 2 different color flowers, the lighter fantasy flower is what is expected on the plant, the darker is the sport:
Oh I live your's also April !
