Are maiden blooms from an offset, normally different from the rest that will follow?

I traded for this beautiful semi-double pink with lime green edge av.

I've been waiting for ages for it to bloom, and it finally did. I went from pure excitement to disappointment...it bloomed white, not pink, and is single, not semi-double

Is it white because it hasn't aged pink, or is this common for the first bloom to be "not quite right", or did this do that chimera thing on me?

Any help would be appreciated. I really wanted pink ;0(
