lol, yes, it's kinda fun not knowing, then seeing it reveal itself more each day. I hope it's anything but white. :)

I don't think I will be with this one. Can you see the dark purple at the base of the leaves? Doesn't that indicate flower color?

Purple based foliage can be an indicator of a cool sunny spring, but some varieties are more prone to purple foliage than others.

OK so the mystery continues :) We are having sun showers today. Kinda strange the sun is out, yet it's still raining.

Bathgate, look on google for Purple Based Foliage if you are interested as some or your USA breeders are trying to develop this trait.
