Here is an updated picture of the unknown mosiac I posted some time ago.
I'll include a couple other I have here at work.
Updated picture of mystery Mosiac
Optimara Barbados
Maui (minus a couple leaves I put down)
Let me see if I can enlarge it.
There it goes larger ! Wow stunning. I am so happy you gave me leaves and I have a few nice babies growing !
Enlarged version
Maui enlarged
I have some Optimara Maui babies I grew from leaves Jan Jannich sent me !
Optimara Maui (6571) 05/25/1987 (Holtkamp) Single-semidouble purple-violet/white edge. Dark green, plain, glossy/variable red back. Standard
Your unknown mosiaic if beautiful.
That unknown mosaic sure looks a lot like Lillian Sparkler...what do you guys think???
Beautiful no matter what the name. Thanks for sharing, Budgie!

I was thinking maybe 'Trinket Terrific'.... it sure is a lovely plant! Is it unknown because you got it without a tag, or because you lost the name somewhere along the way? I have a couple of mystery plants that I know are named varieties but are now "unknown!"
No, wait.... that's a standard sized plant, right? Could it be 'Genetic Blush'?
Genetic Blush (Jeff Smith) Semidouble-double light pink pansy/rose-pink shaded top petals. Mosaic variegated dark green, serrated. Standard
In any case, it's a beauty!
Nope it's none of those. I've seen it in person and have two leaves down from Jan's plant each has loads of babies.
Jan bought it on Ebay forgets the name. BUT it may have sported. If any thing it's in-between >>>>>>>
Lilian Jarrett (1060) 06/09/1961 (F. Tinari) Double light pink. Pointed, quilted, serrated. Large
AND
Lilian Jarrett Supreme (1253) 09/21/1961 (F. Tinari) Double pink. Variegated, round, cupped, quilted. Standard
AND Jan's flowers are more double dark pink, Foliage is longifolia and dark mposaic.
Lilian Jarrett Variegated (2902) 09/28/1989 (F. Tinari) Double pale pink. Mosaic variegated medium green, pointed, serrated. Standard
Which are all Sports of one another..lol
Jan's plant has double dark pink flowers..dark , longifolia mosaic foliage.Foliage is not serrated. ( No pink in it) Does not look like any of the Champion plants or Genetic Blush
Wish we knew Mom's name could be grown out and named. It's beautiful !
Who ever she is, she is just beautiful.
Actually, it is one of 4 I bought at a plant show but lost the tags. I killed Mom but saved a leaf before hand and this is what grew out. Looking back I remembered the names of each of the 4 and this one was tagged 'Lillian-N-Lace' Perhaps it was mistagged or mutated.
Sounds like a solid ID to me!
Here's the description from FC:
Lilian in Lace (E. Champion) Double pink frilled. Mosaic variegated medium green and white, ruffled. Standard
Yes she must have been mislabled we figured this out when she was a baby.
I do have Lilian In Lace. The Foliage is ruffled, white in it also more a medium green toward light.
While Jan's plant is a dark Mosaic and is not ruffled.
I was able to see Jan's plant in person and side by side and it is not Lilian In Lace.
Now I have seen a seller selling a plant marked Lilian In Lace that is NOT ~
Read how Lilian In Lace foliage is " medium green and white, ruffled." Which Jan's is no where like it at all . :))
And to be Honest I myself have the Lilian In Lace and growing babies from Jan's Leaves. Jan's plant is so much more beautiful. Their like day and night.
And yes Jan's could have Sported and still is for me !
Jan I think like you were saying your plant was mis-labeled.
I fount this one on Ebay being sold as Lilian In Lace
which it is not. Lilian In Lace's foliage is wavy , lighter and so different.
I bought mine on Ebay also from a seller that buys them whole sale I think at the same place as each other. But right now they are getting a plant labled wrong.
Your plant is so beautiful even more so than Lilian In Lace .
I need to take a picture of my foliage up close. I posted pictures before of it but just the flowers.
Here is one on sale on Ebay that does not match the FC info of it either.
