Default One Flower two colours? any ideas?

Hi there,
I was just wondering if there are many gardeners here on this site? reason I am asking is I do not consider myself to be one although I love being in my garden, I have recently moved my one and only Rhododendron from a large pot and into the garden and now that it has decided to flower it has two different colours flowering? As you can see from the photo, the top half is a lilac colour while the bottom half is pink. Any idea's as to why? is it something to do with the soil or the way it draws water from the ground? Just curious really as it is a lovely plant and I want to make sure I look after it right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
David
