Okay, 3-tone African violet. The solid purple flower has already faded. I can't see anything different about the leaves, just the flowers (this will be important in a minute)

This is another one with multi-colors - the white flowered side has light green leaves and the pink side has dark leaves with red backs. Eventually, I separated them. I wouldn't normally (separate them), but the plant split and each arm was about 4 inches long. Each are now growing in their own pots and have continued to bloom the colors they were when they were Siamese twins (light leaves - white flowers and dark leaves - pink flowers). I've had this plant since the mid-1980's - its an Ever-Floris Space Violet. The original plant was more the color of the pink side, but there has been a wide variety of mutations of the years. https://www.optimara.com/everf...

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
