Just goes to show what light intensity can do for blooms. Keep it bright!!

What the heck?!?

That has got to be the most bizarre story I've ever heard. I really wonder what happened to the salmon color! Do you have a photo of it when it was blooming in the original salmon color?

I looked through all the OB pics and couldn't find it but I'm sure I have one somewhere...unless it was part of the batch I lost when the computer crashed last year

I'll keep looking...it's bizarre!

So you think that it may actually be the lack of light for a few weeks that caused this? It was a total guess on my part but I'd really love to find out why this happened.

Ive seen pretty dramatic results with my own flowers when manipulating light levels, but nothing as drastic as yours! I think Susanne's (Sun rm.N.E.) Q regarding the number of plants on the mount is definitely a good one. If that is ruled out, then ya, its the light!
