    The petals of the flower looks similar to leaves. But they are of different colors. [​IMG] this plant is supposed to have completely white flowers. But it was places next to a dark pink flower now some of its flowers are turning pink. Does anyone know what's going on here? Same thing happened to the light pink flower plant too. [​IMG]

    This plant is spreading its color to the other plants nearby.[​IMG]

      Welcome to GC.
      It looks similar to a Bougainvillea double flowered cultivar I brought back from Tenerife years ago, called Apple Blossom. It is variable in colour depending on the light and occasionally produces flowers the colour of one of the parent plants. Some whites show slight pink colouration.
      The all pink Bougie colour has no connection with the other but could be bleaching from the sun (just a guess).
