NORTHWOOD BLEACHED BLONDE - Seifert 2020, Dip, 41" hgt, 5" bloom, Mre, Sev, 2 br/ 15 bc. (Pigment of Imagination x Foar Bizar)
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!

Soft chocolate brown with light pink midribs, small green throat outlined in cranberry.
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.

Saved Soul...Dan White 2015...tetrploid unususal form (unknown X unknow)
32 inch scape, 6+ inch bloom, 2/3 way branching..12+ buds
This daylily was rescued from the compost pile after seeing such an unique color bloom...therefore parents not known.. This is indeed a saved soul (daylily)....after rescuing it so many encouraged me to registe it because of it's perfect unusual form and unique colors.
Very dark shades of purple(near black) to brown burgundy, above a yellow to green throat...great cascading form.

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. SPIRIT OF DELUSION is very pod fertile and was the parent of our most used seedling for 2014. By 2017 we should be able to offer a full Color Changer Collection for all to enjoy!

BACHMAN-SEIFERT 2014 -DIP, 26", 6", EMre, DOR, 4 BR/25 BC (Gail Braunstein X Stargate Corridor) grey purple with violet chevron eye and sepals and green throat

This little gem came from Dan Bachman as a sight unseen seedling I bought from him. It was impressive right from the start, with its beauty. I the summers I have observed it, it has continued to impress with its performance. Blooms always open well, fertilty and rebloom are constant. The name for this cultivar came about because Woman's Prerogative has an ever changing look, and I kept changing my mind about what to name it!
