It has to be some sort of influence. When I first moved into this house,
the rhododendrons were all blooming...and I had three lilacs. I remember
remarking to my husband that it was a shame that they were all the same
colour. I ended up moving one..and this spring...it bloomed white. (I could
barely believe it myself!!)
I also have a sedum called frosty morn...and depending on where it's planted
it will either bloom white or light pink.
