| Well, I have experimented before with the smaller shorter dahlias, and this year is my first with the taller ones. Wouldn't ya know, they were mostly mislabeled. So, any help would be greatly appreciated. All flowers are between 4 and 6 inches. Next year I want to get some DP's, I am now addicted to Dahlias. Hopefully next year's batch wont be mislabeled.

| Sorry, I can't help on any ID's, but I enjoyed viewing them. It is nearly impossible to get a true ID due to variation in colors. The paler waterlily type might be 'Silver Years.' Did you get a list of what they were supposed to be from the provider? I like the colors on that last two photos and wonder if the reddish splotches on the final photo were from a spill or naturally occurring color. |

| Thank you poochella. I should have 15 different varieties, 2 of each: Leonardo Salvador Art Fair Monet Cezanne Blue Boy Thomas Edison Edinburgh Pretty In Pink Lilac Bull Onesta Pretty Lady Lucky Number Pink Attraction Love Parade So far, only a few look like what they are supposed to. Not that I am complaining, I love them all. I would just like to know what I really have. I have one blooming now that is the same as the one in photo 9, and its almost 8". Funny how the flower sizes seem to vary on an individual plant. |

| If I had to guess I'd say either or both of the first two photos could be Onesta. Here's my version of Onesta and that's the only one I can guess at. Pretty in Pink follows that, but I don't see anything close to it in your photos. Different flower forms on the same plant? Sometimes single vs double blooms, or mutated petals or colors, but I've not seen completely different flowers on the same plant. The colors do change with more/less sun though. Pretty in Pink |

| Btw Poochella, I forgot to say that the colorful splotches on that last flower are natural. That was the first to bloom on that plant, and so far every flower on that plant has done that. It amazed my 8 yr old daughter and I, it's so cool. |

| Poochella, Well, as for dif flowers on same plant pix 4 and 6 are on the same plant yet they are so different. I am not confused in any way, they were both coming off the same main stem, right next to each other. Very weird. Yes, I suppose 1 & 2 could be 'Onesta', Or maybe 'Lucky Number'. The 'Pretty In Pink' I am supposed to have is white with purple tips..at least that is how the pic looks on the bag the bulbs came in..why purple would be called pink I have no idea. Also, it came with the "Blue Collection". It looks nothing like yours, which is absolutely gorgeous! I think these people are just out to make us nuts lol...it's working. Your flowers are amazing, I love looking at your pics. |

| Thanks on the pix. I enjoy others' photos too. Lucky Number might be your number one above. Here's one below from here for comparison. And coincidentally, I found those very red spotches on a few petals on one plant this very afternoon. That's a first for me. I have no idea if it's genetics in the plant, or birds spitting berry juice indiscriminately, or what. Very odd, and by now I've forgot which plant it's on, but I'll find it and get a photo.

| Beautiful...sure loooks like my 1st pic here. Thank you! As for the splotches, it has to be genetics..when the buds are just starting to open on my plant, I can see the splotches already in there. Just that one plant though. I'd love to see pics of your 'splotchies' lol. |
