Irina, here is the description and a photo from Optimara website (http://www.optimara.com/optimarafieldguide/varietiesa-l/chico.html) Chico Variety Number: 244 Series: Holtkamp (Europe) Pot Size: 4-inch small standard Bloom Type: Frilled Bloom Color: Bi-color, white with a blue edge Leaf Type: Plain Leaf Color: Light green Year Introduced: Year Revised: AVSA Registration Number: 8948. Even this description is different from the picture. I think my Chico is close to this picture from Optimara website

My Optimara Chico has produced 3 different sports. I started out with the true blooming Chico. It then sported to one with the "tie dye" effect. Then to a solid purple bloom with light green leaves and finally a purple bloom with a Geneva edge. The Optimara website has a photo of Chico showing the striped blooms and also the solid purple blooms in the same plant. Chico just keeps being a surprise each time I put down leaves but I don't grow to show so I still enjoy all the different blooms.
