Genetics

This plant had a branch that ran along the ground and sprouted roots…

…so I cut it off the mother plant and planted it about a dozen feet away. I don’t understand how what should be a genetic clone (seems to me) has much more white mixed in with the pink.

    Maybe the soil conditions are different at the new site? I don’t know about azaleas, but certain hydrangeas will have blue blossoms in basic soil and pink blooms in acidic soil.

    I thought about that, both the possibly different soil and the hydrangea chemistry, but I don’t think either is in play…of course, I could be wrong!
