Some white varieties occasionally show the trick. Wait for the next flowering.

My Christmas Gift did that last year, as a new bulb. It'll be interesting to see if it gets the pink streaks again this year.

Hi sue,

Almost looks like a very pale but beautiful Apple Blossom that it was kissed with raspberry :-))))

Thank you for the responses. this particular bulb has recovered nicely, so maybe it will bloom again this year. I'm looking forward to seeing whether it will bloom white next time.

I think it's a pretty bloom... very subtle. Not to cause alarm, but it looks like your bulb may have red blotch, which could be part of why the plant was so stressed.

She looks wonderfully healthy and she has babies :-)))))

Just for anyone still interested, this particular bulb bloomed again this summer in a much healthier state, and it is indeed a Mont Blanc. The leaf stippling is from leafhoppers and thrips (I hope).

Very beautiful - the white flowers are so elegant.J
