Is this a Chimera??

Hi All,

I've had this african violet for two years now. It was a supermarket find and quickly became a favorite.

I love its deep purple and cream colors with the lacy edges. I've tried to find its name on the internet but have had no luck as of yet. I was wondering if anyone recognized this beauty? Also I was wondering if it looked like a chimera to anyone? With the central purple stripe and white edges it almost looks as if it qualifys. But one doesnt usually find chimeras in the supermarket....right??

After reading about africcan violets I realized this one had a double crown, and have now seperated them. This is the end result which is why it might look mishappened at the moment. I saved the other crown and hope it roots. I'd love to have another of this girl. Incidently the other crown did bloom before seperation exactly as the parent plant.

thoughts?

Jon
