Came across this dahlia while doing a bit of gardening today. I’ve never seen this before. Admittedly only been dahlia growing a couple years.

AI suggests it could be a spontaneous mutation/sport, but I’m wondering if anyone here can confirm whether that’s actually what I’m looking at?

It’s the only flower on the plant that looks like this, the rest are all pink.

Thanks

I will miss the summer, bring on Christmas 🎄

Kinda obsessed with Hollyhill Serenity, so I gave her a few extra shots 😂

I am in East Lansing, Michigan. Digging begins mid October. Shipping is Priority Mail; Large Box. Photos are from current stock.

Many people know the Keukenhof in The Netherlands for its tulip extravaganza,pulling in millions of visitors each spring.

But these pics are from this sunny weekend in the adjacent Keukenhof castle, which specializes in dahlia gardens, with dozens and dozens of cultivars on public display. No crowds, free entry… 🧘🏻

Strange coloring on this singular petal. Unsure variety

I planted tubers late and made the mistake of going with one of the “Dutch grown” companies, but I’m just thrilled to have my first flower! Time will tell if this is “My Love” mislabel or an unnamed variety. We’ve got one more coming, which I hope is Clair Obscure.

My son is 5 1/2y. He loves beautiful things, and particularly flowers. Last year he wanted to plant dahlias, roses, hyacinth, and sunflowers. Here they are 🥰

EDIT: I don’t r member the name of any variety of any of these flowers.

I’m enjoying a bouquet a day now. Do beautiful. I hate to see the season end. Kelvin Floodlight in this one too.

My beautiful followers this year.

This is my first year and I didn’t label where I planted what and I want to label them for next year.

Im not sure if im going totally crazy but i have this very light pink flower head growing out of my Thomas Edisons (which have otherwise all been the same shade of purple ish hot pink). Is it some sort of variation because of the cooler weather? maybe i planted something here im not remembering. I truly don’t know at this point

I was told mystique. In most photos I’d say that dahlia seems more pink but a few photos are more purple

Thoughts?

Hopefully some of you will get me. I love the pristine award winning dahlias grown from tubers, but darn it I loved growing florets seeds sooo much! They were so much prettier than other dahlia seedlings I grew this year. And I love the walking into the garden and seeing something new and interesting. Like a chocolate box! If anyone has seeds recommendations please let me know.

Here is a photo of my Labyrinth
Dahlia blooming in October now.

This is Burfoot Roan, a 2026 release from US breeder Mara at Burfoot Flowers. I absolutely love the pin-striping on the petals. Excellent stem length and impressive vase life. Highly recommend adding this one to your grow list/gardens. Anyone else growing Burfoot Roan?

I posted in the gardening sub also, but I just really felt like she needs to be shared. Especially given her in memory status.

So, story is, I’d come across a post in the Dahlia sub awhile back about naming seeds for people.

Last spring, also when I was starting mine from seed and starting my journey with tubers as a first year grower, my best friend unexpectedly lost her little girl, who was then born stillborn, weeks shy of her due date.

So, one of the seeds got labeled for her in her memory. I am keeping the name private as I’m unsure if my friend would wish for it to be shared.

Just wanted to share how in awe I am of this bloom, that it would be chosen at random as a tiny seed for her, and then turn out this stunning and beautiful is just beyond words

It’s bittersweet, but it’s also beautiful, which feels fitting ❤️☺️
