D 'ay' lia or D 'ah' lia? A little of this or a little of that?
Pink or Lavender? Lavender or Pink? White or Yellow? Yellow or White?
Colours of dahlia flowers aren't always easy to pin down! A few of our Skeena's are a little more of this or a little more of that depending on the temperatures and quite likely soils too. Environmental factors often influence how dahlias grow including the colours of the blooms. Colours can be more intense in hot weather, and less intense in cool weather.
Skeena Posh can blush pinky lavender or more lavender pinky, and sometimes those colours can be so pale in the bloom that it tends to have its feet more in the white colour group.
Skeena Harmonies boasts a combination of 3 colours! A mid yellow bloom that blushes pink with fabulous lavender picotee edging along the petals. Colours tend to be more intense in the early season and heat, and mellow in the cooler temps of late season.
Skeena Glitter has both feet in the pink and both feet in the lavender and both feet in the white colour groups! The lavender tones blush more intense in the hotter parts of season for us, and cooler temps tend to encourage blushing of the pinker tones making her easily confused with Skeena Nana in young blooms.
Enjoy the Dahlia!
