Noticed this in the GH yesterday. One red petal on my pink turks cap. Interesting...wonder if some of the buds comming will bloom the same?

Some plants will show a color change when there is a sharp change in temperature when the bud is forming. Perhaps the recent cool snap brought it on. Keep an eye on it and if you get anymore, consider propagating a cutting from those branches.

Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Yes it would Ginger & I would love to be first in line for a bi-color!

I hope it decides to be a mutant bi-color. That would be so cool.

When I looked yesterday, more buds have opened, but no bi-color. Ah well the plant is young yet

Hey, just think of the money you could make by getting the patent! You could replace old "Poopie"!
