| Hello! I have a Kelvin Floodlight dinner plate variety that was doing great with nice buds. About two weeks after I put it in the ground, the buds starting getting this dark brown black spotting on it. Now that the buds have opened, they are beautiful, except the petals in certain patches are browning. The leaves and other parts of plants are not affected. Only the buds and blooms. I have a raised bed about 2-2.5 feet high and water deeply 2x/week. I give it an extra zap of water when it is extra hot out. I live in Northern California. I have pictures at home to post if that would help. Please help. I have gone to two nurseries for help and no one has been able to provide solutions. My other two Dahilas are thriving in same bed on same water schedule. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT! |

And what I notice some of my Dahlias not good this year. Last year and year before I have bunch of flowers this time . Right now not so many. |

| Sorry to hear you are experiencing the same problem. As you can see from the photo, my blooms are getting the worst of it. I will post another of the buds as well. If I find out any more, I will post an update. |

| The second bloom so far doesn't look quite as bad, but the new buds still have the same problem. |
