ShakespearesGarden said:Lavender Stardust being completely odd. This bloom is on the same branch as the mostly odd one posted earlier.

That could be excellent.
Now I have to change my previous explanation a bit. It may have to change again later depending on the exact pattern of unusual flowers on the branches of that scape.
It may be that the entire growing point for that branch is made up of the "sport". If the sport affected all the tissue in the growing point of that branch then the flowers on that branch will breed as the colour they show and not the registered (normal) colour. If a proliferation formed on that branch there is a good chance that it would flower as the sport.
It would be very interesting to have lavender stardust and its near-white version as separate plants; they would be genetically identical except for one gene.
