Teddahlia flowers have this very small green center. Does that hold it back from being a cut flower?
Those centers would not get any deduction on my "cut dahlia scorecard". Great to see some breeders are still breeding for "cheery" instead of breeding for "moody". I just talked to a friend from Mexico who grows commercial cut dahlias near Mexico City. He said there, the bright, clean colors sell better than the "wedding colors" that are in demand here. He wanted all of the bright yellow varieties I had (I had one). Maybe, someday, bright colors will be back in vogue here.
