Default Mums changing colour

I have one chrysanthemum in my garden. This year, it began to bud very
early (in June); I removed the buds. In no time it began to bud again.
This morning I noticed four flowers on it. They're white with yellow
centres, like a typical daisy. The thing is, this plant has always had
bright, hot pink flowers. What could account for the early -- and
off-coloured -- blooming? Is there any chance it might bloom again in
autumn if I remove the spent flowers?

Thanks for any input.
