I have noticed this flower on one of the Azalea plants growing in my family’s backyard. There are other flowers like this one (white with a pink stripe on one petal), but this was the easiest one to photograph. What exactly causes this? Is it possible that these flowers are results of mutations? Or is it an example of co-dominance where both pink and white petals are present? Your help is much appreciated.

Point mutation. The cells that led to that part of the flower had a spontaneous mutation.
