Rainbow's Quiet Riot Sport?

I got a new Rainbow's quiet riot almost exactly a year ago and broke a leaf on the way home. That leaf produced 4 babies.. and now my confusion... All of them have started blooming and all of them have plain blue flowers; none of them have any speckles! I looked around researching the sports but they are all chimeras, which I really don't think these plants are (plus, the chimeras all have white flowers, I think). Is this an un-official sport of Rainbow's Quiet Riot? Or (and this is the only other thing I can think of) could it be temperature? They have been grown rather cold for the past few months... on average under 65F. But I was under the impression that growing cold would increase the speckling just like variegation. That and the parent still has normal flowers (with the same growing conditions). Does this make sense to someone?
