| Iceberg is from the Purple Taiheijo family, so I'm told.
Purple Taiheijo - AAID: 12" diameter flower on a 36" bush.
Iceberg - AAID: 12" diameter flower on a 36" bush.

| Viking, Let me know if your Purple Taiheijo does the same as mine. I didn't disbud or disbranch, just let it grow...and the blooms ended up being buried in foliage when they finally arrived. Same too with Iceberg. I did a whole bunch of disbudding today, looks like I'll need to learn disbranching for these guys too. Cheers, |

| Boy Jesper that looks a lot like my Oregon reign. May be some miss mark on my end. |

| Arrowhead Dahlias and Ferncliff Gardens both show your Taiheiyo (with the white stripes) as avaialble. BJ's Dahlias list it, but don't describe it. The only place that is listed in the Colorado Society's "Big List" as carrying Taiheiyo Speckled (Dan's Dahlias) doesn't have them listed any more (only Taiheiyo Purple, which looks like mine, not yours.) So it would seem they're hard to find. Lucky you!! Cheers, |

| Taiheijo is the varigated one, Purple Taiheijo is the parent that it came from. Speckled Taiheijo is just another way to try to sell Taiheijo. Russ- that can't be Snowbound. Snowbound is an ID- like yours. It's also not Iceberg-- that one's ID, too. The one bluelytes posted is a FD - & a nice FD at that- notice the smooth, round, broad petals then look at the wavy, almost semi-cactus petals on the other 2. It looks a lot like White Alvas or White Perfection. bluelytes, what size is it? |
