| My Seattle dahlia (Yellow with white tips) has produced a lovely pure double yellow bloom, a phenomenon which I think is called a "sport". How would I go about saving this? Thanks - Anna |

| I have seen so much variation with Seattle that anything is possible. Lovely flower - they seems to change color with the weather. |

| Anna, I don't want to burst your sporting bubble, but Seattle has behaved so weirdly over a vast geographic expanse this year that I wouldn't rely on it to be a sport. People here in the NW US have complained it was a "non summer," with cooler and wetter conditions than usual, but others far away have had the same results on this variety. Either Seattles have been all yellow, or yellow with a hint of a white tip on a couple petals or not blooming at all. Here is the first bloom off the same plant. Nothing at all like the Seattle I've enjoyed in the past. |

| Thanks everyone, especially Poochella - always so informative. I guess I won't bother with any cutting or rooting. |
