when you have purple and light purple one the conditions on the outside are dictating the color, but here is not so. it is not a lack of some ground elements or nor a inadequate position but the real mutation that occurred.I'm sure you saw some others really rare things apart from this one ;)

Cool, I have plenty of wild violets by me but I never was lucky to find one all white.

Usually these are purple or purple/white unless this is a different species.
