My cat Licorice use to "call" me all the time if he was looking for me. He had a loud yowl that you couldn't miss. (When I got him as a kitten, they called him "big mouth".) This flower is named in his honor.
In the same way, you will not miss this one in bloom. Great plant habit fertility and rebloom!

Red violet which changes to light peach with purple edge by evening.
This color changer has some of the best of its parents, It's taller for one thing, has the good substance of POI and reblooms like Foar Bizar. There was no struggle or holding my breath to set pods or use the pollen; it's easily fertile both ways. The future of color changers is looking better all the tome!

Who doesn't love chocolate? This soft chocolate bloom caught my eye out of many from the same cross. The performance has been good and I just spent time enjoying it this summer. I don't know about seedling results because there was nothing else like it here to cross with it. It does produce pollen and made bee pods.

SPIRIT OF DELUSION

( Grace, L 2015 ) 15-10 DIP ( IN A JIFFY x PIGMENT OF IMAGINATION ) 5 3/4" 25" DOR FR M 20+Buds

SPIRIT OF DELUSION is the best and prettiest "color changer" of all the early selections. The substance is very good but does have one flaw...it doesn't have any pollen.
