small white flowers growing on dahlias

Hi,

I am new to dahlias and gardening in general :). i have several dahlia plans growing and they are beautiful, but today i notices really small white flowers growing on them. I thought it was weeds but it looks like they are growing on the same stems and from the root. the step and leaves of the plant with white flowers is the same as the dahlia itself. the white flowers and tiny, about 1/4 of an inch in diameter. i am so confused, are these really weeds?

    It doesn't sound like dahlias to me. A picture would really help. Closeup and clear. Perhaps there is a weed growing right beside the dahlia.

    Upon further inspection it was indeed a weed. it threw me off because it was growing on 3 of my plants and it was growing in the middle of the plant making it really hard to separate from the Dahlias

    thank you for you help!
