Default Variation in colors of eggplant blossoms

Part of the fun of growing quite a few different eggplant is noticing how variable varieties are, in terms of stem color, foliage color, and flower color (nevermind the variation in fruit color, shape and size!).

Pretty much all of my eggplant are now flowering, and for the second year, there are some varieties with white flowers. Last year, Green Finger Striped, Indonesian Pink Blush, and Striped Nigerian; this year, Turkish Orange and Indonesian White Ridged.

Here is Indonesian Pink Blush from last year:



This year I notice that there are different depths of violet, some flowers are nearly double or ruffled, and some are pale, nearly pink.

Just one of those things that I am appreciating this year - will post some pics once I get good shots of the flowers and load them into my website.
