Wow that's sort of weird. I wonder what happened....

I wouldn't part with my BB's. Everyone walks or drives by when they are blooming just to see the butterflies.

One color is more dominant over the other..

When one bee goes to the one flower, and it takes with it on it's legs the pollen..
goes to the next flower, and that dominant pollen
takes over....

So Weezie, if you keep the bush sprayed with a good chemical, it will keep the bees away (or kill them) and maintain the color? Right? Duh laugh

Weezie, I don't think that can happen. Only affects the seed, not the flowers. I wonder if the grafts were pruned off or died?

Okay, I am only going by some of the other
plants/flowers I have... Duh

Like my pink and white *2 different groups*
of Coneflowers, the one's you'd call "Purple Coneflowers", I had a set of white, and set of purple, my whites turned to purple..(over a 3 year time period)
The dominate stronger color took over...
Still two clumps, just now the same color... Duh *also insert head scratchin' gremalin*

Same for my Phlox.. I had a light purple like..
Then some dark pink one's materialized on the property... and now, my light purple one's are starting to turn darker purple and some with pinkish centers..

I like the Scarlet Leucothoe-it's a neat, compact foliage plant that has interesting color year-round--planted some in my front bed last fall-have yet to see how well they take...
