I went to a botanical garden and took a picture of a plant it labeled tuberose. But the flowers are pink not white! Any idea what this could be?

Looks kind of like Soapwort
Nothing that's been done can ever be changed.

Yes, absolutely.
No doubt there was a tuberose there at one time.

Looks like Saponaria (Soapwort) to me too:

I do agree that the plant in the picture is a Saponaria, but for general info, there are pink, lavender, and yellow blooming polianthes (single and double tuberose)

Thanks everyone! I had no idea what tuberose (or soapwort for that matter) looked like. I just assumed everything was labeled correctly.
