That is the strangest bloom! Did each bloom look like that?

Two flowers? One pink placed in front of a purple to disillusion us all and lead us to believe such a creature exists only to leave us despairing and tearful when we realize it was all a ruse?
Surely you are not that cruel Granny!

Not a dahlia at all? The leaves are wrong.
So who IS the great Pretender?

Zinnia! Zinnia! Excellent guess Willow. I couldn't place those leaves no matter how hard I tried. I'd do steroid testing on that zinnia LOL, if it is a zinnia.

Willow Wins!!, Willow Wins!!!. It IS a zinnia. And yes, I do know that this is the Dahlia forum. I spied this lovely from the other side of my veg garden and at first look wondered how a dahlia ended up with the zinnias. It would be a pretty Dahlia. And I'm going to save the seeds on this one. Thanks Poochella, thanks Willow for playing.

That is the most un-zinnia I've ever seen. The petals surely could pass for a cactus dahlia. Thanks for the intriguing guessing game Granny.
