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

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… 🧘🏻

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

Strange coloring on this singular petal. Unsure variety

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 will miss the summer, bring on Christmas 🎄

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

I got this tuber but can’t read it at all..it’s next to CB which is cornel bronze. It’s the orange flower in front of the cornel bronze. What is it???
