I'm curious as to why my forget-me-nots have changed color. Two years ago I bought Victoria Pink and it has reseeded for me. The first year this cultivar had blue flowers that quickly changed to pink. Last year was the same. This year I have many more plants (I spread the seed around). Some are normal but several have had just pink flowers from the start. Here's a picture:
But I also have one plant with just blue flowers.
I know there had to be genes for blue flowers in the original plant but I never expected to get a plant with no pink flowers. Does this mean that next year I'll most likely only get plants with blue flowers? I really like the pink flowers and would like to keep some pink ones but how would I go about doing that? I will say that I'd bet my life savings that nobody in a one mile radius is growing these plants so I doubt it's cross-pollination with a blue variety. Any ideas besides buying seeds of a pink cultivar?
