Looks correct to me, colors can be variable depending on camera and lighting.

I suspect it's actually Rhopside Susie. This violet is from a big box retailer that does not provide named varieties. Only selective garden provides named varieties. https://myviolet.com/view_vari...

Harlequin also has serrated leaves and these are smooth.

Hi, yes, this is not correct. I'd say its best to keep this in the generic entry as the labels do not match

The bloom edge color in this database photo does appear much lighter than the description of Harlequin but color in a photograph can often appear variable from photo to photo due to the specific camera and available lighting.

I found this patent information page that lists the plant description and color at the bottom of the page: https://patents.justia.com/pat...

This Optimara webpage lists the plant patent number, plant description and the AVSA registration number: https://www.optimara.com/optim...

Harlequin has frilled/ruffled leaf margins and the photo in question also has frilled margins but the color appears much lighter than Harlequin. The photo owner sedumzz has proposed moving the picture to the general database entry, which is likely the best location if the plant doesn't have a label.

I agree with this assessment.
