In the list of forums it states that if you're not sure where to post, then this is the place. So here goes.

I came across this white morning glory this a.m and I'm puzzled as to why it is there. The rest are Heavenly Blues. I traced the vine as far back as possible and it is connected to a blue plant (I think) lol. Anyway, it's the only one that has shown up after all this time.

Any thoughts?

I have no answer but had to post in admiration of the Heavenly Blue and Heavenly White. They're lovely!!! ;)

BTW, Dave just opened up a new Morning Glory Forum, so perhaps one of those folks can help. http://davesgarden.com/forums/f/floramanana/

I sometimes get an odd flower from my Dahlias. They should all be solid red but 1 or 2 times per year I get this.
I think it has to do with a missing or irregular chromosome in the DNA strand.

That dahlia is really striking Andy.

I wonder if the breeders could put that crazy mixed up chromosome in there on purpose. hmmm
