echinacea irrestistible

I bought an ech irrestisible earlier in the summer, it has yet to bloom. Came across a really nice one this week, and bought it too. It had 2 blooms fully out, and a bud or 2. The blossoms are similar to double decker or pink poodle, I think. Anyway, the third bud blossomed and it is nothing like the others...not a double, not pink! Kind of orange and yellow...similar to some of the big sky series. This plant has only 1 stem...and I've certainy never seen totally different blooms like that on one plant.
Comments? Have you ever seen this?

The doubles start out looking like singles and then fill into the middle over time. This one starts out orange and then turns pinkish/purplish so it is a bit different depending on the age of each individual flower.

Thanks, ctopher! That is exactly what is happening. I like surprises like that!
