Those flowers: always a mind of their own. I used to think it was due to hybrids going “back to nature,” but I’ve learned that even our natives can show a lot of variation in color. Evening primrose are especially prone to do that. They’re generally pink, but white patches can show up in the middle of a colony.
I have a special love of morning glories because they don’t grow so easily here….especially those gorgeous blue ones. But a friend in Australia tells me they’re a horrible weed!
I guess in the wild they are considered a weed… but those ones are not like the Heavenly Blue ones I purchase from a nursery…but they turned out this colour this year. I climb them up my lamp pole and a fence from pots of flowers. 🙂
My morning glory vine is blooming – pinkish purple and white when it was supposed to be blue.

they are lovely no matter what color – interesting though what you are saying – wonder if it is a genetic mutation. 🙂
