    Incomplete dominance or intermediate inheritance.

    Edit: Generally flowers will get their petal colour by switching on and switching off particular genes. Maternal effects could also determine flower colour.

    Also flowers such as tulips can have more then one colour, however this is due to a fungus and not genetics.
