Albinism in plants

it's interesting, isn't it? I went back and took a look around to see if there were any others. Just this one, and on closer inspection the main stem is a pale green...but those leaves and the almost flowers were pure white. Because of the green stem, I was thinking it may be a chimera. I know they occur by chance, occasionally in nature, unlike the technology that produces pink and yellow Poinsettias.

What else?
See who else is growing Asclepias syriaca (Ipek Fidani).
See who else has plants in genus Asclepias.

I had a pure white/cream Geranium/Pelargonium a few years back, but it didn't live. As you say they need the colour to photosynthesize.
