I've had nice Wildfire flowers that were B sized, but not as prolific as AC Kuntz. However, Kenora Wildflower was on the hot sunny edge of the garden so it did real well in spite of it. I liked it a lot and easily sold all the flowers I had off of it...

After seeing Kenora Wildfire at the ADS show this year, that is a must have for my collection. Mrs Viking deserves the best.

Is that AC Rosebud a sport? It looks very lavender in the photo. That's super nice.

No. For some reason they just all started blooming like that not too long ago. There's one that didn't and is way darker than the rest.
My garden is still churning them out inspite of many open centered ones. I picked 15 buckets of dahlias last night and will pick more today. While some flowers are noticably smaller, many are looking just fine.

Well the weather forecast for the past few days said it was gonna freeze Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning but that has yet to happen so I feel like my flowers are living on borrowed time. Not too bad for our climate seeing as how the past few years the killing freeze came earlier.
Crazy Ivan made a pretty cool looking speckled white bloom.
River's Novelty started off pretty rough but the blooms eventually came around to the proper form.
This last Kelgai Ann bloom came out perfect.
This Show 'N' Tell bloom looks like a fire that's been summoned.
Wyn's Mystique gave me one glorious bloom. I really like this one.
Vassio Meggos was pretty prolific. Lots of nice blooms that usually got bogged down by rain or wind and then snapped. I had it right out front next to the street to show off.
Hollyhill Gloria took awhile and then burst out quite a few blooms.
Wow! Great blooms for Nov! Love that Show N Tell pic! Nice that you are getting these bonus days of bloom. It is 36 degrees here in Western WA this morning...coldest yet this year. I think we have more chilly coming this week then it warms up again some.
Your HH Gloria is so nice..I bought a pot tuber of it and mine had a bad center all year...one of those that stretched sideways like a smile but it wasn't a nice smile. Loved the colors but not the bad form! Maybe I will try again from a different supplier. DId you start with a tuber or a pot tuber? Oh yes, your Kelgai Ann...Nice one! Another I always see being naughty so its good to see a nice one. I've lost my Wyn's Mystique a few years ago. I would love to grow it again. If you have any extra tubers please put me down for one

I'll let you know once I get everything dug up and divided.
