Those are bloom stalk leaves they can be progated. My Chimera gave me like five bloom stalk basket babies :)) Where on the bloom stalk was not just little leaves but full crowns growing :))
Here they are in their own pots !

Well they can be just too leaves on a bloom stalk can be progated true. But mine grew babies called baskets
and they look like tiny suckers or crowns which is great gifts when it comes to Chimera. The picture is all one plant all were baskets growing on bloom stalks
of my trailing Chimera :)) I pot them up and they will grow true blooming Chimera plants !

Bob I even have some on one of my Strep Plant. One of the flower stalks was thicker and more green and has two little leaves on it. I still kept it there even though the flowers die. And then I have another one on the same plant that now has a leaf about inch or so
. I tried taking pictures last night . Hard to see them.
can you see two tiny leaves here ?
