Dahlia update for Bamboo and Bertiefox

Golly, a Dahlia with multiple personalities !!!
I think they're all very pretty :)

Yes I fully agree there Louise very pretty flowers (and good close-ups too)

i agree with bob and louise , very pretty

I like a good variety of flowers in the garden but usually they are on different plants....... Lol :~))

Its got more personalities than we have, hasn't it Ian?....no not really........... Yes it has............

lol ian,, he he , are you wittering dear

Us?.............. Never.......... Yes you are!....... I've told you to stay out of my conversations.......... Who said she was talking to you?

think you need a rest ian, well one of you does

Very pretty.

LMAO San. I think so to, perhaps it was to much sun! ! ! :~))

yes its been lovely today, just been outside and trying to rain here,not sure it will though

Its so muggy here at the moment I wouldn't be surprised to hear a rumble of thunder soon. We thought we had heard one earlier but it turned out to be my belly.......... LOL :~))

What a brillian plant, six for the price of one. Definitely multiple personalities, I agree with Ian

Yes but which one of me?

Very, very nice looking Dahlia - even if it does seem to have multiple personalities!

It s beautiful its should be called camelian, changing colours lol

Poor dahlia ! It's trying it's best to be yellow but doesn't know how :o)

It really is a chameleon! I wonder what actually causes flowers to change like this? Last year our white hibiscus started producing some flowers with a single petal deep pink and all the others, white, then one with two petals pink, etc.
I thought the whole plant was going to go pink and then it returned to white.
No flowers at all this year as it got cut back to the ground by winter frosts, even in the conservatory!
Can't wait to see what happens to your dahlia next year, especially if you keep the tuber and do some cuttings from it in the spring. Anything could happen!!

Well, how interesting, two plants for the price of one, even if its not what you thought it was going to be! I guess, then, the hard green centres to the paler version of the flowers are simply the rest of the petals, which are presumably genetically affected in some way and unable to open. So much for labelling - but it's very attractive anyway.

The full deep pink ones are my favourite but it doesn't produce many of them which is just as well in a way as it's in the red and yellow border! Will plant it somewhere else next year, maybe even take some cuttings as Bertie suggests, although never done that before.
