Teddahlia I have seen it be brown many more times than not. Here is a picture.
I disagree that thatās brown though. Your brain is just combining the dark red and bright yellow colors when seen from a distance. To me, it doesnāt even look brown from the distance of the photo.
Question about the form though. When I see a photo like this (often from a show), I sometimes wonder. Why do the tips of the petals on that bloom point when mine lay flat. Is it most likely
A) my stock isnāt as good as that stock B) my climate/weather/soil isnāt conducive to the proper form of that variety or C) the grower knows something I donāt about how to get the petals to curve to points at the end (or whatever form trait Iām wondering about at the time, but itās usually about the curl of the petals behaving in an ideal way). Or possibly D) could be a combination of any of the above.
