that has been flowering with red flowers continuously for the past 8 years, is there a reason why i now have red and pink flowers
I have a geranium?
This is impossible. the only flowers known to science that can change colour, naturally, are hydrangeas and this is due ti a change in the PH. They are experimenting by injecting dyes etc. but this is not your scenario. I have grown geraniums (pelargoniums) for 50 yrs. if you have one that changes colour after 8 yrs you are sitting on a fortune.
Reply:You may need to feed it, and put some rusty nails in the water
Reply:You must have had a tiny root with the red one . The tiny root is the white geranium, so you have a red and white one which is giving the pink colour.
Reply:the soil ph has changed
Reply:lightning.strike i think....or mabe its the geranium bug...nasty little buggers....or..or radiation poisoning...or aliens
Reply:I feel it just might have faded or just had some root of a white one in it and only now coming out.
Reply:Any plant can "sport" off, with a branch of different color flowers or leaves, this is how new varieties are developed sometimes. They take the sport, propagate it, and have a while new plant from the variegation of the parent plant. This is probably what has happened to your geranium.
Why? Not a botany scientist, cannot explain what goes awry with the plants genes to do this.
