New cactus dahlia flower opening. (Dahlia Pinnata (Dahlia))

This flower looks so different at this stage to when it is fully open.

This one is called "Veritable", but it could be a very similar cultivar. I wonder if different companies give different names to the same plant??

I've often wondered that too, Chris. I planted cactus dahlias this season for the first time...they are just nicely growing as it was so cool for so long. i'm impatiently awaiting their debut. The package I bought just said "cactus type" no name or variety given... would it be so hard to put a sticker on a label saying var. of .... etc. ?? so mine will be a true surprise package. can't wait to see what colours I bought ! lol....

I started this one off in the house Lori. Then I put it out in April (it is reasonably warm here by then). That way I got flowers much earlier. The ones I planted straight in the garden are not in bud yet, though in previous years I have had flowers in June, but this year they are later.

Beautiful dahlia, it looks like my 'Veritable', and yes I do believe some companies give different names to the same plant, a few do it to get out of paying royalities back to the breeder if the plant has been patented.
