Now bass do those plants produce these all the time or is it a chance ocurnece? The col de dame negra-blanca is a chimera too? 

  

Good question, I would think that a cutting taken from that specific branch might produce these figs... but it may revert back. 

The Col de dame negra blanca produces dark and light green figs on different branches from what I have read.

Thanks bass I am very interested in this. I have adriano but seems to be a pingo de Mel sport that has red veins nothing too thrilling like these. Well any mutation sport or oddity.
