Chico sported, again.

Homestead, FL(Zone 10a)

My Optimara Chico has given me two totally different sports. The first photo is the original plant showing more of the typical type blooms of Chico. The next two photos are the new sports. At first I thought that I had mislabeled the leaves when I put them down but now realize that Chico can give you a variety of surprises with its sports.
The last photo is an Optimara from Lowe's. Not sure if this is Chico or Rhapsody Irene but with Optimara not labeling their plants it is a guessing game. Can anyone identify it? Whatever its name is, I think it is very pretty.

Very pretty Chiqui.I think the foliage appears different on the second plant.It is very odd that the first plant could sport to a plant with a Geneva edge...the third plant.

I am pretty sure that this is a sport of Chico. The pot is labeled and I didn't have any plant then that had the Geneva edge like the one in the third photo.
