Two different flower colors on a Crepe Mrytle?

I have been working with crepe myrtles for only a short time, but in this short time i have never seen a single myrtle with 2 different flower colors. This myrtle is a Pink Velour and is producing pink flowers, yet on one branch I see white flowers as well!
Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how common is it.(I am sure I have not discovered a new hybrid so excuse my excitment

I have a rose bush that produces 2 different roses but had to graft to get it to do it. But even then it only produces one type on individual branches. Cant tell from the pics. Are they on the same branch? Last edited by BigBill : 12-Aug-2007 at 01:13 AM.

Don't really know why they mutate like that. It may be a nice feature for a bonsai, similar to a quince with several colors of blooms. __________________ There is unrest in the Forest There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas.
