Snowfire was originally a tricolor but varied a lot and some were bicolor. We kept only the bicolor and it has pretty much been bicolor.
2024 - Dahlia Blooms
Juliarugula Good grief, these are exquisite blooms and photos! Wow to HH Snowfire, and your pic has me pretty excited to see if Seabeck’s Shirley’ll bloom for me this year. I can’t wait to see some neon yellow/orange! Thank you for these luscious bloom photos today 
Teddahlia here’s a photo from the first year I grew HH Snowfire. I’m kind of hoping for some more of the variegated ones also. I loved the variety of patterning I got that year. Lots of white blooms with streaks in addition to the yellow variegated. 
Love your Snowfire and I personally like having several versions of it around. However, we have just the bicolor version right now. 
Your maybe Hart's Bonny looks like the Hart's Bonny I grew a number of years ago, at least as far as my memory of it goes.... Nice!
calico20hill well, it was purchased as “AC HB”, which I think is correct. I’m more wondering if it was named “HB” after “Hart’s Bonnie”, either because it looks like it or because maybe it has Hart’s Bonnie as a parent?
We like purple flowers . Third year seedling.

Hollyhill Cheers is blooming! Gosh, Ted, what a stunner!
First bloom of a new one
In our garden, HH Cheers impressed us with it's large cupped petals. Margaret hand crossed it with HH Daydream and got a few seeds. I did more record keeping on seeds last year and it is nice to know what varieties make more seeds that others. This is especially useful for hand crossing where even the best seed makers make far fewer seeds. I actually counted the totals from the seed envelopes last year and even if I do not do it every year, it is useful information.
I went looking for some "baby" pictures of HH Cheers and quit when I looked at the picture below. It is a picture of a very nice waterlily seedling from 2022 and I have no idea what one it is. Probably it was "one year wonder"

Teddahlia gorgeous flower!
Ken Greenway likes to name flowers using people names. We have found that some people really appreciate having a flower named after them. I personally am not all that excited about doing it as many of the names just do not flatter the beautiful flower. I hope Margaret does not name one after her ex sister in law's brother named Bubba! Last we heard Bubba was living in Las Vegas where it suited his lifestyle.

Ok, but I would totally buy Hollyhill Bubba just for the name.
Bull's Blood is going to finish my emails for me at my real job.
I saw Bulls Blood at the National show. Impressive.
Kenora Lisa bloom (5").
"Bulls Blood".......now that's a name!
I've been enjoying Salish Red Red Red today. This is one I have loved since I saw the first bloom 3 or 4 years ago on a tiny plant. The color is so good...nice and solid and I don't think it fades much either. It is a nice 5" flower on a not too tall plant... 3-4' I think. Anyhow, probably the shortest Salish one I grow. I Picked a couple of blooms for the house today and I just can't keep my eyes off them!
AC Petalicious - day 3 in the vase and continuing to get more beautiful!
