Metamorphosis

The most extraordinary thing has happened this summer...

Last Autumn, these bright mauve or lavendar flowers were blooming late and I was absolutely delighted with them as the rest of the backyard was getting all golden in color and leaves were falling...

this summer the same plants have turned up completely different as reddish purple and white!!!
and here the new blooms are opening up nicely, showing the pinkish purple and pale pinkish white as opposed to last year's all bluish purple blooms...
hmmm...they're exactly the same plants but completely different in color...how could that be possible? They've somehow mutated of their own accord!
