gargoyl52 said:I have seed pods on my forestlake ragamuffin that have that odd color on the top. The rest are normal looking.

The seed pods of some cultivars develop red/purple pigments and colouration. It is perfectly normal. The colour may develop more deeply or may fade as the pod develops. This tends to be a characteristic that is cultivar specific; I have noticed that if the cultivar has dark coloured flowers its pods are more likely to develop the dark colour but it may not last.
