MY Russian Sport plant is growing and blooming doing super great ! It has new buds coming up .
The bloom stem with the first flower has three small flowers on it all opened. ( the first flower got old I yook it off ) These little blooms still good size are trying to sport some pretty green too ! Oh how I would love green in all the flowers !

Another flower with green !

Look at the back of one of the flowers green showing threw.

More green flower

I love green in flowers wish they'd all get green :))

Allison, that is just beautiful. I love the green!!

Oh man! Allison that is WOW! or ta da!

Allison! STOP IT! you're making me drool!

It sure has sported nicely from what the bluebirds photo shows!
Would you consider it a chimera now?

The plant is growing quickly and healthy more buds coming. I am really enjoy this plant !

I'm not sure Lali it still has stripes. Could be white Stripes even. Looks more like Chimera than some that are registered Chimeras. Wish they would get all dark green strips :)) You just never know. It's a healthy fast growing plant !
Has your 's bloomed yet Lali ?
Either way if it stays Sporting I can name it ?

Allison I hope you get to name it!

Thanks ! Joanne, April, Aharon, Lali ! I am so in love with it. Each bloom stem gets 4,-6 nice flowers and it has new buds coming up !

I can't get over it! such a beauty. I looked at mine last night and the bud is still tight and all white, no sign of any lavender color at all.
You must have the only sport in the bunch!

To me, these flowers are more beautiful and delicate than most chimeras. They are stunning!

Did Libbie get back to you?

WOWwowWOW!!! I imagine the white blooming original form is gorgeous too... but this one is truly a treat!

If I can grow it out stable 3 generations I can ! I all ready have first generations suckers. Mom plant does not count. Then I need two more generation. .
I can also reserve a name for two years for a $1.00. Which I may do ! And when you registered it you get the $1.00 back. It does not have to be registered to be in FC.

allison...truly gorgeous....see the pics and questions for you on my "heavy" soil link

No She did not get back to me but I did not ask her to and she's busy maybe she just was thinking I wanted to show here ? I will send more and ask her if she likes it >))
I love it :)) The plant leaves are getting learge some whte wavy and shiny thick forming a nice shaoe plant. Hope next bloom cycly is full with bright green stripes :))
I have seen so many Chimera bloom so many different ones you would not think they were Chimeras but the are ! LIke this one I fount in an old AV mag

Fancy Lady - - An excellent bloomer, with soft pink, single and semidouble pansies. Each petal has a light blue center stripe, with darker blue fantasy specks dancing on each flower. A pretty bouquet stands above heavily variegated, dark green foliage, with tons of beige on the leaf edge, and light green mixed in with it! The standard foliage is lightly quilted. AVSA Reg. #9524
It's in FC but last time I up-dated my FC went nuts. It even down laoded few things look like some foreign lforeign language . and when I go on it shuts FC down. I need to take the time and email Joe Burns.

Wow what a beauty Allison.So pretty! You find the greatest plants.

Oooh Allison, your pictures make my toes curl!
I got all excited today because my first Step baby has bloomed -
"Orion" (very thrilling for us newbies, eh?)

2z Beautiful ! Did you grow it by leaf ? Good to see you been missing you. Where have you been ?

Right now my Crystal Dawn, Christmas Morning, Cynthia, and Danile Streps are blooming and growing new leaves ! Their doing real well in 5 inch pan pots but the more they grow I look at them and think soon they may go into hanging baskets :))
Streptocarpus are wonderful bloomers !

Those would be really pretty in hanging baskets. Is that picture of Christmas Morning? Love the red!
Sharon

Yes this one is Christmas morning ! This morning it has three flowers opened !

Beautiful, Allison! Love that red.

I've just been lurking, not posting. But I've been here.

I got that one and a few others from ebay, got carrried away drooling over pictures, eh? They were from exoticviolets and came as tiny babies in 2" pots, and are doing very well, a few others have buds too.

I'm curious, never would have thought of putting Streps into hanging baskets, but the leaves on a couple of my babies are getting humungous - "Bristol Bluebird" and "Crystal Ice" - have you tried that before, and do they like it?

Edited to answer your question.

Well, mine looks to be a chimera sport as well. It's just opening up this morning and really looks cool.
white petals with a green stripe and lightly fringed with purple/lavender on the sides. wish I could get a better photo, but the colors are tough to get.

WOW Lali Wonders ! And they grew together from the one Mom leaf. The leaf I bought for $4.95 from Bluebirds was tiny when I got it. My leaves are growing learg on my plant and some wvae to them also.
When my last flowers opened I saw green and I was WOW it was hard to capture but they still had purple stripes.
Your flowers is so cute and pretty. I love my plant !
Thanks for sharing your Sport of ;

I just looked at your flower again ! And I love it :)) I was thinking it would be nice if all flowers got green in them !

I sent you via email a few more photos. when it fully opens, I'll take some more shots.

It is a cutie pie!

Oh my Lali love the bloom, plant, pictures you sent WOW :)) You know many plants Sport to more than one Sport ! I love it. Wonderous Beauty . Your's looks like it has bloom stalk leaves for progated !

Oh Lali I fount the Chimera plant I was telling you about it when you were here. It blooms pinwheel strips by leaf. There is a beautiful picture of large plant in the 1984 GSN magazine. I am going to try to take a picture to show you. Not all flowers are the same. I'd love to have some of " Doris Bearman's " Plants. They are Dib's.
This plants name is Dib's Blue Ridge. This pinwheel propagtes from a leaf, unlike other pinwheels. It gives her name and address and many other colorful pictures of more of her plants. A story about her and lots of black and white pictures too. Picture of Doris holding this hugh plant in bloom checking it out for re-potting ! Black and white pic ( Wish it was colored) " Show Window with Deb's Blue Ridge a pinwheel, shown behind the watering cam ! "
Maybe I shall send this magazine to you !

Oh yes this is from 1984 and she says she fell in Love with African violets 43 years ago when she recieved her first nameless AV velvety :))
Her whole home is full of Av's every window every room and lighted stands. The story tells sweetly about her front bedroom, seedling room, back dinning room and more :))
I think you will enjoy it :))
Mater of fact I have the whole year in perfect collectiable condition :)) They are a collectibles ! I will send to you.

email me her full name and address Alison, I'll do some web investigating.
