I’ve shown you plenty of weird things that happen in my garden, but I’ve got a new one for you.
Remember those pretty orange Coneflowers that bloomed a month or so ago…

A nice pretty orange right?
Well a few days went by and they got a little darker orange…

…that’s not totally abnormal… and they were still orange.
But then a few weeks later…

….um… okay… still a little orange around the centre, but those petals are looking suspiciously pink…
and then later still…
… definitely pink. Dark pink.
And yes, those are all the same flowers – coneflower blooms last a very long time.
And if you needed more proof…

Here’s the same plant with the old flowers and a new orange bloom…
What a wonderful weird world we live in.
So pretty in either color.
I had an orchid that started out a pale green and as the flower matured it changed to a lovely lilac color.
