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!

NORTHWOOD FUDGESICLE - Seifert 2019 Diploid, 34", 4.5", EM, Sev, 3 BR/22 BC (Old Termite x Patchy Fog)
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.

Profound Mystery (Emmerich, 2009)
height 28in (71cm), bloom 5in (12.5cm), season M, Rebloom, Dormant, Tetraploid, Very Fragrant, 18 buds, 4 branches, Rose cranberry with cranberry etching with cranberry lavender watermark and cranberry ivory edge above yellow to green throat. (Heartbeat of Heaven × (sdlg × Born to Reign))

This is an exquisite flower that undergoes a remarkable transformation during the day. Pictured in the afternoon – see website for AM. Starts the day as rosy cranberry; cranberry etching with cranberry lavender watermark; small cranberry violet eyeliner+lav+ivory gold edge; twinkle midribs; y/gr throat. In the afternoon the petal color fades to cranberry lavender and the sepals stay the same color as in the morning, becoming a reverse bitone. Very, very distinctive and attractive. If you look at your flowers only in the morning, you’ll miss the fun and mystery of this flower. Fertile both ways.

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.

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!
