| This variety normally looks like the left side, but my plant is having fun this season! I prefer the right side... I hear Cafe au Lait has been very popular for weddings recently. |

| Perhaps this one might fit into your cream-colored search... I think the undertones are the same as Cafe au Lait, with a blush on the tips. I alternate from disliking its color as a single bloom to really liking it for bouquets to blend two color palettes together. It's growing on me, but I have to admit that its name seems to fit when I look at it on the plant, compared to almost any other bloom in my beds. Quite frankly, I feel the same way with Cafe au Lait's color, so this is purely color bias. |

| Here's another one that might fit the cream dream scheme... Valley Porcupine had a pink blush to it earlier in the season, but has more of that neutral beige color now. |

| Blah blah blah! That's a craaaaazy name!! I love them both though. I'm also interested in some peachy tones! Thanks for your pics. |

| Breakout started out cream colored for me with later blossoms having the apricot/yellow centers. When I gave bouquets to neighbors this was the one chosen first by several people. |

| Apricot Brandy for the peachy tone. |
|
| Cornbride is an interesting parchment color, probalby about as close to "Cream" as dahlias come. I would say it is about 2 shades lighter then Cafe au Lait, but next to pure white it would show as creamy. |

| Love them all! I have cornbride on order! Awesome!! Will def look for breakout and apricot brandy. Thanks everyone!! |

| Shilo Jazzman Also bloomed quite creamy in my garden, next to Blizzard which was defintiely whiter. If you haven't grown Peaches N Cream you really ought to try it...(Note, this is not the same as Peaches and Cream.) |
