I have 3 or 4 very old Rose of Sharon Bushes(maybe 15 years old) I planted from sprouts. I have a "purple" flower Rose of Sharon bush and a "white" flower rose of Sharon bush and between the two is a bush that has "purple" and "white" flowers. The bush was never grafted. It has only one "trunk"; each limb on the bush has it's own individual color.......either all purple or all white but they are all on the same bush. I have heard of flowers changing colors but I have never heard of a bush having two different colored flowers on it without something being done to it and this bush has had nothing done to it to cause this.
Why does my Rose of Sharon have two(2) different colored flowers?
Rose of sharon (Hibiscus), beautiful flowers! The state flower of Hawaii. When they drop their seeds, they grow very easily, and 1 seed from each plant hit the same spot. It looks like 1 plant, but i guarentee it's actually 2 just roots are wrapped real tiight.
Reply:has it always been like this?its possible that it was pollinated by both trees.where did you get the sprouts?if bought from a nursery they may have beendone there.that is odd.enjoy the oddity.

I have a lilac tree that has deep purple flowers, but last year 1/3 of the tree also blooms white flowers.?
Someone told me to trim the white lilac flowers after it bloomed and then next year the whole lilac tree will bloom all deep purple flowers. This year, the tree seems to be blooming even more white flowers! How do I get the whole tree to bloom all purple flowers, as it should? It looks funny with some deep purple and some white. In past years, it was all deep purple. I have mulched it and put lyme to keep less acidic. Help?!
I have a lilac tree that has deep purple flowers, but last year 1/3 of the tree also blooms white flowers.?
It is because it has heterogeneous genes.
Sometimes it will bloom white, and sometime purple, because of the parents.
Reply:Is it possible that your tree was grafted? I have seen other trees that were grafted have some of the graft traits %26amp; some origional. If so and the origional was white, you would have to trim everything off below the graft.
I don't think two colors of flowers look funny. If it is viney, I would wind the t colors of branches together so I had a little of both colors all over. Right now I am dealing with a hybrid rose bush that has yellow, pink, and yellow with pink tips on the blooms of the same bush, in varying digrees of color saturation. Strange, but I love it.
Reply:If the white flowers repulse you, cut back those branches - not just the flowers (or mark them and trim later). It would be best to cut them late summer or fall so that you remove next year's white flower buds that form this season. It is possible you have 2 different plants growing together or it was grafted to have 2 colors on one plant. I don't think acidity affects lilac color (as it does hydrangea).
Reply:I believe that you have a tree that is a result of splicing. This is done in the effort to create new species.
Do not mess with the soil! Lilac are not affected by the acidity of the soil. They actually tend to like undernourished soil.
Now if you try to cut off the white flowers you run a risk that the shock could kill the lilac. Personally i would leave it alone. If you want a pure purple lilac buy and new one and ask if it is on it's own stock.
The following web site has lots of information.
Reply:In the begining of blooming they are deep colored as time goes on the blooms get lighter and lighter in color.
Mine started out deep purple too but then started turning lighter as the buds were getting older. Then they started turning brown and died off.
Is this what could be happening with your lilac bush?
Reply:I am learning something like this in biology at the min!
Its to do with the genes!
The tree must be heterzygous.(two types of allele) This means it can produce 2 colours.
For the tree to produce all the same coulour it must be homozygous.(one type of allele)
The make a homozygous tree(all purple) you must cross fertilise two homozygous.
This prob sounds confusin but i hope it helps:D

Purple flowers for an August wedding?
The colors for the wedding are wine, sage, and cream. Any ideas for purple flowers that are more red toned, not blue toned? (No roses, they really aren't me.)

How do these look to you? They come in the more purple-red AND the purple-blue depending on what you prefer.

These are purple orchids, gorgeous purple-red colors there.
I love Irises because they look so dignified, but I tend to find those more on the purple-blue scale.
Good luck!

Reply:purple lilies for a more beachy theme or purple daisies for a spring theme, both give a fresh decor to the area you put them in and these flowers can also give an exotic accent
Reply:This first one is mainly roses, but it's the first thing that popped up.

And this one is those yellow roses with the dark red tips. I know you said you don't like roses, but I typed fall weddings and this is what I got. Also, there are orange colored lillies.

What is the name of this purple flower?
This flower has just started to bloom maybe a month ago (End of April to beginning of May). The flowers range from white to purple with shades of pink in the middle. They are about 5 feet tall and seem to grow almost like a weed. Here is a link to a picture of the blossoms.

October wedding in Texas.Suggestions for purple, blue, yellow, orange, pink flowers? Main color dark purple...
I am getting married in Oct. in Fort Worth, TX. I am looking for purple flowers mostly, with some suggestions for bright blue, magenta, yellow and orange too. My main color is dark purple, so I want to stay away from pastel lavender or lilac. I'm not a huge fan of roses, but I'm going to be making my own bouquet so I want flowers that are easy to work with. Here are some bouquets I like to give you an idea of what I'm looking for:

October wedding in Texas.Suggestions for purple, blue, yellow, orange, pink flowers? Main color dark purple...
Calla Lilies are very nice and come in a variety of purples to blue-ish. They also have stems in orange and yellow. You could use roses, carnations, daisies, mums or anything else to fill in if you like.
Reply:October's flowers are cosmos and marigolds if you want to keep with the month .
http://www.birth-flower.com/Library/OCT/...
I tried looking at your bouquet pics, but they wanted me to log in.
Reply:While they are all verry pretty, my favorite is the fourth one for an October wedding. the second one is good too.
Congratulations!
Reply:try lillies or carnations you have them died to whatever color that you want and i couldnt see your pics cuz i am not registering
Reply:I would get some yellow roses as well as they represent the southern belle.. The yellow rose of texas. Yellow and purple are exact opposites on the color wheel so they actually compliment each other well.
Reply:I love hydrangea not a typical wedding flower but they are beautiful
Reply:I'm a wedding coach in California but have family in Ft Worth!! Congrats and get ready for a whirlwind of activity surrounding your special day. Have you thought of Calla Lillies? Here is a link to a pretty bouquet. http://www.flowersbyjoanne.net/images/We...
The bouquet could be fresh or Silk. If you wrap the stems with ribbons of your corresponding colors and let the ribbons trail down it would really be elegant.
Reply:I am a JP, and when it comes to flowers, your florist is the best to ask. Throughout the year there is a variety of flowers that are good. Some flowers that are good for spring are not good for fall, as with any other season. Talk to a florist.
Reply:go to a flower store and take someone with taste with you.
Reply:Too bad your wedding isn't during blue bonnet season!
But for blue flowers you can try Irises, bluebells, for yellow theres daffodils, tulips, esparanza, lilies.
Magenta and orange you can get lillies.
I couldn't see your links, it required a log in.

How do you divide purple cone flowers?
We dig them up and divide them in clumps of about 2 or 3. then replant them, spacing them apart, with peat moss and water everyday until they are established. We divide in the fall but, I think the spring would be okay also.
How do you divide purple cone flowers?
Bob pretty well said it all. They are a great plant for a sunny area and really tough. They make plenty of seeds and you'll get a lot of new plants without trying.
Reply:Bob said it best.
