Agree with Frogsleap that what you show is gold flecking which can be seen with several varieties, one is Depp's Pink Firefly. Gold flecking is partially genetic and partially not known, to date.
Goodwin, were you growing Scabitha? Or are you sure those are Sophie's Choice? I can't tell from the size, but the shape isn't quite right and I was the person who introduced Sophie many years ago and I've never seen gold fleck on it.
