jay: The only way that could occur is if the two chracteristics are linked to the same gene(s) or group of genes (alleles)
I think that happens in many plants , and I believe , quite extensively in Hibiscus . But I am not certain about that.
But mostly each characteristic ( number of leaves or colour of flowers in this case) is controlled by separate genes, I'd think.
kmarch: My guess is that you will have a different distribution of the colours in the next flower
. Beautiful flowers
