Dahlias Tour!! Urban Flower Farm - Sunshine and Flora, Zone 5A Iowa

[@sarahmunoz14]

Been out of the KZbin loop lately. I the first ? Looks like Ferncliff copper (decorative not a ball) and I believe the deep pink with peachy inside ball dahlia is Burlesca. Very prolific for me as is black satin.

Wonderful tour, really loved the closeups. I highly recommend Diva. Very long stems and blooms last 9-10 days in the vase.

Your dahlias are beautiful! I just noticed too that some of my anemone corms that I left in the ground from spring have started sprouting too!

Thank you Christina, I hope you had a great vacation! 🎃🍁🍂💚🙃

So many beautiful dahlia varieties!! It's hard to pick a favorite. The dahlia at the beginning at 1:55 looks like one in a catalog from Brecks that I just received. It is called Nicholas. I find, however, that the same dahlias are called different names, depending upon where you buy them.

I ordered a Sylvia dahlia to honor my hubby's deceased grandma and it is one of my favorites. My absolute favorite this year was Creme d' Cassis --everyone always wanted to know the name -- it was grown from tubers that I bought at Lowes.

Right around the Waterlily Dahlia comment about 2 minutes 50 seconds, it goes from stereo to just audio in the right headphone.

And back on again around the seven-minute mark!

Just got towards the end and the one in bud actually looks like a peaches - n- cream bud to me ?Time stamp 10:15

[@glaizaroe]

Hi! I think there's something off about your audio again

[@sharoncalatayud6410]

Hi, the first one looks like Braken Sarah to me but not sure... I have it and it's a fairly decent size maybe a 4-6" dahlia. I do have the same problem with labeling tho!!Not sure if animals take my tags or what is going on but I need to get a better system going. I'm thinking that tie tape around the base of the stem and a LARGE wooden label as well.

[@SunshineFlora]

That wasn’t one I ordered but it does look similar!

[@lrmerideth]

What about ferncliff copper?

[@stephendavidrathburn8952]

Awesome Dahlias!! Question. Are you cross pollinating with the organza bags or self pollinating? I want to self pollinate some Dahlias this year but I'm not sure since there are no bees on the flower if one has to use a brush to self pollinate or just a good shake now and again. What would you suggest?

[@SunshineFlora]

I am using the organza bags to keep the bugs off - we have corn rootworm beetles that destroy the petals 😥

[@raolopp5158]

I have also the wasp probleme but the fly thing is absoloutely normal in greenhouses.

[@SunshineFlora]

👍

[@carastroinski223]

Could your first unknown variety be Ferncliff Copper? The one you called Ferncliff Copper in the hoophouse looks more like Brown Sugar to me...?? I could be wrong...

[@SunshineFlora]

Hmm. I’ll have to see when they are fully open!
