Chimeras at my house

This is my ficus plant, its pretty old and the variegation has changed over time from all white and green to different shades of green and solid green leaves. This is LII & LII chimeras GWG

This is a new houseplant that I acquired at the Magrath Library this semester. It is a cutting from one of the library plants. The chimera could be LIII GGW, but I wonder if this is a mosaic design caused by a virus?

You are taking cuttings from the library plants? Way to go! I'm not sure what that mutation is in the second plant. Might be LIII, but it could also be what is called Non Pattern Variegation that is controlled by a nuclear gene rather than being a chimera.
