Dahlias: Better late than never, 3 by psudan

Mary, those stems are the biggest I've ever seen. Maybe with the plant being so short, everything is compacted. lol I've had this Seattle dahlia for 5 or 6 years. The coloring has changed so much, I had to look on my chart to see what it was. Very little white and none of the peach coloring. It got off to a very slow start like most of my others and is still barely 12" tall. This Kelvin Floodlight is the biggest I've ever had. It's 8". I can hardly believe this many large blooms from a single tuber. Wish I had noticed the two ratty looking blooms before I snapped the photo.
