Chimera half and half Rose: The concept of a chimera is known from Greek mythology. A chimera is a "hybrid creature"; this means that a being is composed of two or more different ones. (Wikipedia) The Greek word means "goat". We know of other hybrid creatures, e.g. the Minotaur, the Sphinx, the centaur, the basilisk and others. But these all belong to the realm of mythology. There, the meaning is easy to understand and is portrayed particularly vividly in illustrations. Chimeras also exist in the plant kingdom. One type of chimera formation is even generally well-known, as it is used in horticulture as a standard method of improving fruit trees (and also certain types of vegetables). We are referring to "grafting". This consists of an underlying "stock" having a corresponding "scion" grafted onto it. Two different plant parts are connected to form a single organism. (Wikipedia: Grafting) This is done artificially by hand, and the grafted joints, where the two differing plant tissues were bound together, are usually (on fruit trees) quite visible years later.
