Ok I have to share this. Not sure if this is unique but certainly is very interesting. So this whirligig zinnia that was orange and rose is now yellow and rose ! Yes this picture is of the same flower !!
I kind of ignored the plant after the bloom as it got too tall to fit under the lights so I moved it to the side. Gets some light but not the greatest. And the leafs started curling (boron deficiency?) so it wasnt pampered but as the bloom aged, the orange rose petals dried out and new petals from the centre appeared yellow and rose ! There was pollen produced after the orange rose petals appeared followed by the yellow petals ! It appears the orange rose was semi double, and yellow petals now turned it a fully double flower. Such an insane change of colour
