Yeah, that sounds normal. Livida (only two 'i's) flowers will be purple if they have lots of light, white if they don't.
Where did you get it from? U. arenaria looks a bit like a purple U. livida.
I actually got it from a different on-line nursery (this was before I discovered this sight). I don't really think I should post their name, but the plants I got were all healthy.
What you say about a having other forms/species Is quite possible....there were many stow aways in my pots when I got the plants.

Anything is possible I guess. But usually one species will tend to overwhelm another (hence the reason we all hate U. subulata
)
I do know of a grower that has told me of their subulata has both white and yellow flowers so there is also the possibility that you have an odd mutant doing something like that.

Can you get a photo for us? I know utrics are tricky to photograph and it might not be possible.
I've only ever used digital cameras to photograph plants, so I just used the macro mode and tried to get as close as possible and still focus. A lot of trial and error.
