Strawberry flowers are normally white but this is one of the newer varieties.

    Thanks. To me, there is something not quite right about the flower.

    Why is that? Red attracts the most I suspect? Better for pollination?

    It's not that it's red but the particular hue and the lack of texture.

    As with poppies, red, not visible to insects, reflects UV (I think).
