I had ordered a 'Clair Obscur' - for reference, this is what flower I should be seeing in my garden  However when it came time to bloom each and every tuber which was labled as Clair Obscur are sporting blooms that look like this...  Can anyone tell me what Dahlia this is?? Is sure is beautiful and some of the blooms are a solid red. I would love to know what it is so I can actually purchase more tubers, just in case I lose any over the winter (I've never over-wintered tubers and I'm a little nervous about it) This is actually not my first 'screw up' - I also have a lovely informal decorative that is a white with lavender tips that was supposed to be an orange and yellow collarette. Talk about 2 being complete and total opposites!!! Thanks for any ideas of what kind of Dahlia I have posted here. I am sure I will be back to post many more questions. I am new to dahlias and I am hooked - or obsessed as my husband would say! Amy |

| That is so wrong: I'd contact the vendor and attach your red/white photo and ask them what they sold you instead of the Clair Obscur you wanted. Then have them send you Clair Obscur and don't order from them again, if it's a company with initials VB. Too many negative ratings in Garden Watchdog. Mistakes, especially from very large suppliers, are inevitable but fixable. Shop elsewhere for dahlias IMHO. I don't know what the cute red and white is, but I bet with half an effort you could overwinter it successfully. |
