I will preface this with, I am a total newbie to breeding. I have very little clue as to what makes a good show flower partly because showing doesn't really interest me. I mainly grow for cut flowers and I realize I still have a ton to learn! With that said, I would love to share some of my favorite first year (first ever) seedlings.
My seedling below is on the left with Bloomquist York on the right. ![](https://forum.dahliaaddict.com/assets/files/2023-09-07/1694107206-937342-img-9607.jpg)
