Where do I find Chimeras? Rob's Violets are sold out and I can't find them anywhere else online. Any ideas?

Where can I find Chimeras?
Can't help you Jesse. Since they only come from suckers and I think bloom stem they are hard to come by. I know www.lyndonlyon.com also carries them. They are much more expensive that most regular avs because of the propagation process.
Ebay always has a lot of Chimeras for sale . And then like Nanna said LL ~ Not sure what their inventory is. I know Violet Barn and LL and " MOST" sellers on Ebay
guarantee true blooming plants ~
They are going to cost more as Nanna mentioned above .
I did a search for them on ebay and only came up with one. Maybe I'm using the wrong words to search. What words did you guys use as to search with?

Jesse, did you try the Lyndon Lyons site? They had some nice ones there about a month ago.
I just tried the site and they have them available for 12.50 to 25.00. I bought Ma's Turn Coat in March. I just put her in a 4inch pot. She is healthy but no signs of blooms as yet.
Jesse here is a search I did on Ebay in African violet
for Chimera and cam up with 30 something plus. And there are probaly more as some people list them in other house palnt . But there are always a bunch each day.
