The first dahlia blooms of the season are often a little funky. 🤪 I like to think of them like pancakes 🥞; those first couple flowers are just practice before the real production starts.
This morning I have a Cakeman dahlia playing around with her color distribution.
To be honest all three blooms are so pretty I don’t mind what she decides to produce 😍
For some of the first time gardeners I’m sure this can be disappointing if you are excited for a specific look but don’t lose hope too early!
Likely this plant will fall back into her old ways especially after the temperature stress is over.
Only another 9 days above 100! 🥵
Cross your fingers 🤞🏻 & green thumbs we survive 😅
