@otherpeoplescreativity From my understanding, it is potentially possible that another colored flower has appeared on the same plant or even same branch. For this to happen, your Double Pink Rose of Sharon would have to be a hybrid, perhaps even F1 hybrid (meaning coming from the first generation after crossing two plants), rather than a true, stable cultivar of Hibiscus syriacus (meaning it would reliably produce true to seed offspring, although double flowers are usually sterile because some or all of their reproductive organs have been converted to petals). Sometimes more unstable hybrids can express traits that are more typical of one of the plants crossed to create them. However, I recommend taking this explanation with a grain of salt, this question is getting well into the realm of plant genetics, which I am interested in but certainly no expert on. I've added a few tags in hopes that someone more knowledgeable can either confirm or correct what I've said.
