| Isn't it funny how these tipped Dahlia varieties seem to move the tip color around in the bloom. My A La Modes have almost all been Dahlia-ishes...none have looked like the photo. I'd sure be curious to know what the technical explanation is (assuming it can be understood by people like me without a PhD...;-]) Cheers, |

| The dahlia loses the color genes in part or all of the bloom. There's a big longwinded explaination for this but that's what it all boils down to. The bi-colors & varigateds all originated from a couple of solid ancesters somewhere back in time & they spend a lot of years trying to revert to their original colors. That's why we don't want to get any varigated or bi genes in our breeding stock- they're really unstable. |
