Mountain laurel colour changes



Hi, everyone.

I have a mountain laurel "olympic fire" which I've had for 4 years now.
It has always bloomed true to type -- red buds opening up to white flowers
-- however, this year the buds and flowers are pink!
Nothing pertaining to cultural requirements have changed and the plant is
otherwise very healthy and producing lots of new growth.  

any opinions as to why it's doing this colour change thing?  TIA
