One of these photos is the "mystery" Dahlia that was obviously mis-labeled. The other two photos have identities that jive with the label.
So are all these Dahlias grown in different parts of my yard the same variety?

    edewitt I love Croydon Masterpiece! I keep trying to get it going in my garden again.

    Here is Penhill Watermelon. Quite the workhorse for a giant.

        blown_dry Wow! That’s picture perfect.
        I’ve tried twice to get Penhill Watermelon. The first time I received Stolze Von Berlin 🥴 and the second time it was bad stock. Thanks for sharing its beauty!


            Hapet Austrian Lace is such a gorgeous bloom. Unfortunately, I find that it consistently has the shortest vase life of any dahlia I’ve grown.i thought so last year, but decided to try it again this year with similar results. It totally wilts after 2-3 days. So disappointing.

            KA’s Khaleesi is finally blooming. I double-disbudded, and had two main branches. This bloom was 9”.

            Shiloh Noelle is back - love her.

            My Radeghast was kind of unimpressive. Seems like the edges got burnt by the heat though - maybe blooms will improve when it cools down.

            AC Edmonds. I really like how it fades in a vase. The center sort of gets hints of gold - interesting.

              AndreaB I hope you get some good stock. It's the only giant in the 'most offered' list, and I assume this is due to it's unusual vigor. This clump is not only unfertilized it's only half planted. I am sure I will have some to share.

                edewitt thank you. I've never purchased AC GPS, so the mystery deepens 🤔.

                  Juliarugula Shiloh Noelle looks iridescent, almost like old fashioned ribbon candy and AC Edmonds is lovely - even faded. I’m hoping your Radeghast shapes up too, id love to see more photos of that one!

                  KA Cloud has begun blooming, I’ve been delicately dis-budding but I see I’ll need to be more aggressive if I want larger blooms.

                  AC Tweedly Dum bloomed today too - what is the form on this one? Informal decorative? To my very novice eye, it looks like it’s trying to be a stellar. I didn’t capture the color well this evening, it’s a very deep bright pink, and I’m surprised to see some variegation!

                      Juliarugula AC Edmonds.

                      I’m not familiar with this one. Do you know what year it was introduced?
                      It looks like it’s a smoky color. It’s pretty.

                          Honnat I was looking at that one. wow its pretty I will have to get next year. is it a good bloomer?

                              Krista I love this flower arangement really pretty! what is the pink water lily at the top? Thanks for sharing all the flowers this year, I lost a good deal of my plants to voles so its good to see how others are growing since I will have to replace a lot 🙂

                                  Hope it's OK for me to just tag on this thread! These pics show very close to the actual color; others, not so much so I've left them off. Gotta work on my photography....

                                  NCDahlia Oh I’ve heard lots of coke [Edit: “vole” 😅] damage this year, I’m sorry it’s been a rough season for you. The top waterlily shown is HH Daydream! She seems to be a dustier pink for me which is more muted than other photos I’ve seen of her online. Definitely a gem, and has been in neck & neck competition with Sandia Bertha as most floriferous of all other varieties - and these two are crushing it by a long shot.

                                    First bloom from Clearview Pataha - looking much more pink than shown in Lobaugh’s photos. I’m interested to see how the season progresses, and compare with more photos of this one in other gardens. I like this pinker version, for what it’s worth.

                                    Krista Sometimes mislabels work in your favor. Whatever it is, I love the color.

                                      There's something weird about Zwink that's difficult to capture for me at the moment but the best description is that it's either an informal decorative or a stellar (more likely) that's decided to become an incurved cactus halfway through the petals forming. My Bloomquist Jean is huge and forming huge petals while my Brooksie plant is taking it's sweet time. Connell's has offered some great intros lately.
