I have lots of the violet ones and occasionally get white ones but have never had one with lemon flowers.

Rogi are your violets a lemon colour ? if so it must be a normal thing for them to do ! I've seen white ones Jaykaty but not this colour , I might dig a plant up and save the seed !

So pretty that it must be worth trying to propagate from (root division if you have a big enough plant) but doubtful that the seed would come true as they would probably be pollinated from the violet ones.
