One of my camellias is just coming into flower.
It regularly produces a profusion of beautiful pink flowers.
However, I have just noticed that it has now produced, in addition to
the usual pink flowers, a single perfectly white flower.
Can anyone suggest the reason for this ?



Just a 'sport'. Camellias do it from time to time. New varieties can
be developed this way, although hybridising is more productive.
