We’ve been blessed with lovely Asiatic lilies blooming recently. Today a white bloom showed up. We’ve never seen one before on our plants, and can’t figure where it came from. A quick search found a reference to heat affecting coloration, however all of the blooms have been exposed to the same environment.
Any botanists or horticulturists out there have an idea why we have this pure white bloom? This is the third year of blooms for these Asiatic lilies.

It came from where the white lilies come from. 🤭

Is it the same plant? Or another plant coming up next to the pink one?

It is on the same plant, Stella, that is what confused us.

I had it with other plants, that one flower is different from the others, for example a yellow tulip with multiple flowers, and one has a red patch on it and that not every year, but still, it is not that extraordinary; but this white one on an otherwise pink bush is quite puzzling.

It is strange that is for sure, and a mystery!

My guess would be that the pink lily is a hybrid crossed between white and another color. The white is now showing its dominance.

That does make a lot of sense. Thank you for chiming in!
