Thank you Jeff. I know I would be asked 'What's a chimera' and I spent
the evening trying to find the article I had read. It may be on the 'net
somewhere but I don't have time to find it. I know I have seen an iris
picture like this, and believe that some flowers will be self coloured
in either of the two colours.
It is not a genetic mutations, and as such I don't believe it is
reproducible except by cloning. (Vegetative increase).
