Thanks Karen. I think the color is related to acidity or lack there of.

thanks. I wasn't sure what this would do since it was raised in a greenhouse. I was surprised to see this.

Well it's turned out really good we have to be careful especially spring time here buying plants as most come out of a green house people then wonder why they die as they put them straight out side instead of weathering them off.

That is true. I think this was intended as a "throw away plant." It was forced to bloom & look pretty in time for Mother's Day, then discarded after the flowers die.

Its to good to throw but I know a lot if people do throw their plants away.
