Last year my Rose of Sharon bushes were covered in blooms. All white blooms… except for these lilac/purple ones. I though it was so odd, until I researched and this does happen every now and then. Usually it is when you first plant the bushes.
If you have different colored bushes, when they drop their seeds, they grow very easily, and one seed from each plant can hit the same spot, causing different colored blooms.
The mystery is all three of my bushes have white blooms. I think maybe a bird dropped a seed somewhere along the way. That also has happened in my garden with other plants. These are called incidental plants. I have had plants sprout up that I did not plant.
Nature is amazing, as I always say. Something to learn every day.

Thank you very much, I liked it.
Wonderful flower. I agree, the nature of the work of wonders at every step.
Thank you, it was rather odd seeing these with all the other white blooms.
Nature is always surprised with something new every day …. if not with others, over time
Yes indeed that is one reasons I love it so much. Have a great day my friend!
Thank you for your kindness dear Carol … I also want you a beautiful sunny day
Not in my garden but had seen it in someone else’s …
interesting how it turns out as if half of the plant is pink and another white …
It is so cool to see right! Glad you have seen it as well.
I very much like flowers, with different color ranges obtained thanks to the birds transplanted seeds.
Yes, the birds play a big part in our gardens.
