Dahlias: This year's dramatic dahlia wager: Will the Sprout make it?, 0 by Poochella

I've been mulching today and pulling the many little tomato volunteers that erupt from the compost amid the dahlias. Imagine my surprise when I pulled on these green sprouts and out popped the tiniest rooted tuber I've ever seen! So cute. I've grown them from peanut size tubers, but this is the smallest yet: about 5/8 x 1/2 inch or smaller. Don't know an ID, or which planting hole it came from exactly, but I'm going to plant it and see what it turns out to be.

Do you think the little sprout can become a full size dahlia?
