Alan, I'm not sure what is typical with Potluck since this is the first year I've had it. I also read that every bloom would be different, but mine were all the same except for the "wild" one. Still, it's a beautiful little flower and Marble Ball is what I thought of when it first bloomed.

I usually have a few varieties that go "wild" at times during the season. The blooms in this photo are from an AC Paint dahlia. I posted photos a couple weeks ago showing what the plant looked like last year and how much it has changed this year. I only had one bloom with the red streaks this year. All the rest have been mostly solid lavender or white. It looks really strange with different colored blooms on the same plant. Strange but nice!
