Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the issue at hand.
If this branch with different flowers originates from the ground, then it was likely a seed that had germinated and grew. You can remove this from the ground, getting as many roots out as you can, and the other should continue.
If this is a branch that originates from higher up on the plant, then it could be a mutated sport. Sometimes, destroying the spot where the differently colored flowers originate will stop the coloration from returning.
In the meantime, this collection of articles will help:
