"Veda's Sunshine", that could be the name of your new dahlia from seeds, where the flower represents both the warmth of the sun and your beautiful daughter combined.

[@NaturallyBrittany]

Love this idea!

[@zaria5785]

I was going to suggest Salmon Mop Top as a name for that seed dahlia but I like yours waaaay better. :)

[@StormWarningMom]

Yep, this is the name to go with.

[@quinton713]

Yes that's a great name.

[@janedoe3095]

Why I could never be a flower farmer: Customer: what type of flower is this? Me: it’s um, uhh, a red flower.

[@lillyalfonso9816]

😆

[@altheab.8907]

Love, love, love your dahlias. Perhaps you could utilize those lovely short ones in your landscaping around the house. Would look lovely in front of your porch when bouquet bar patrons drive up. The gorgeous one you grew from seed is stunning. The color looks like watermelon in the video. Not sure if that’s the true color. You’ll have to think of a really neat name. It’s so beautiful. What a lovely surprise. The burgundies are probably my favorite. They would make a very regal bouquet with whites and just some greens.

[@michellea8536]

Your new dahlia from seed makes me think of Phyllis Diller. :)

[@wordvendor1]

Those dahlias are luxurious!! I'm saving this video for my order reference!! 💜

[@SouthernYankee]

That dahlia reminds me of the sunset I saw today! Beautiful

[@jeanettemercer5769]

Love all your videos :) thank you for your positive attitude!

[@chrislittebrant5235]

😯 , I cannot wait for your aerial video, just a glimpse made me drool over the beauty. 💜💖🥰

[@emmyhusfloen]

I love the dahlia you have made, I would call it 'spiked sunset' Love watching you and seeing your flowers, I am also 4B - in MN.. Your gardens look GREAT!!

[@GardenHands]

Loved seeing all the dahlias and hearing what others have to say! I just ordered Daydreamer, glad it received a good review from you. Lemonade has been great for me this year as well as Diva which is great for fall color schemes, similar to Karma Choch and the Jowie one.

[@heidiclark6612]

What pretty dahlias you have! One of my all time favorite dahlia is Ottos Thrill. OMG! Every time I see sunflower Steve's sunflowers, I fall more in love with them!

[@ahmedahmed5317]

Your work is beautiful and wonderful, especially the dahlia flower. I also grow this flower and it is my favorite

[@junematthews8612]

Thanks for showing SEED dahlias. I grew them this year for the first time and it was hard to find KZbins about them

[@jenniferkessener1111]

I am so happy to watch this tour and find out there can be such a difference in dahlias. I was so excited to grow Dahlias this year, and disappointed to only have a few blooms from 9 tubers. They only just started to bloom, have more buds, but it is the end of September! I will have to try with one of the tubers you suggest.

[@Lilylanauze]

Beautiful!

[@traceyparkinson1049]

Love your garden. I love holly hill sweet 16 for flowers all summer. Pink waterlily

[@Stauffer-fs8kz]

Most Prolific for me this year is Peaches and Cream! Another one that is blooming lots is Nicholas. LOVELY Dahlia Tour! THANKS SO MUCH!

[@gardengatesopen]

Hey Doll - if you're thinking of digging up those duds, and then throwing them away, what if you just chopped their tops after the freeze, and then heavily mulched them instead of digging them up? Then if they make it to next year, you might find they bloom better, AND then you don't have to dig them up anymore!! Besides, 2021 IS the weirdest weather year in recent history... So yeah. There's that...

[@Edu_Kate]

I live in the same 4b zone (though a different state) and am ready to chop my one dahlia's neck. It was such a disappointment. I harvested one bloom. There are more buds, but they don't seem to get that the weather is changing. Chop chop!

they are gorgious, i bought a dahlia seed pack today, and sowed them. can't wait for them to grow and bloom by the winters

[@grandmaboswell1007]

Labyrinth has been my most prolific this year. Nifty Nicole for your favorite surprise dahlia.

[@Flowerlady731]

Flurel are my absolute favorite. Zone 4b performed excellent during our drought this year.

[@barbstoltzfus56]

That sounds exciting, can always use more tubers, love your channel 💞

[@cherylwhitesell2522]

Love all your dahlias! It was a hard year weatherize for a lot of things this year! My prolific flowering dahlias are Cornell Bronze, Joey Nicky, My Love, Wizard of Oz. I picked a bouquet or two from each one almost every other day! I give them a shot of Blossom Booster in early summer. I liked my favorite ones from Longfield. So hard to pick the favorite!!

[@judygraham2561]

Boom Boom White and Bluetiful. Have just been amazing in my zone 5 garden.

[@nataly3492]

Omg yes! Name her SOLAR ECLIPSE... Since she opens up slowly to reveal a gorgeous, yellowy, sunny center inside. 😍😍😍

[@heatherdoolittle2204]

Ooh I love all your dahlias! My most prolific varieties are: hands down Cornel Bronzer (That one is just a workhorse!), Jowey Winnie, Coralie, Ivanetti, Robann Butterscotch. And yes you need all of those varieties- they’re all gorgeous!

[@tamararobinson2069]

So Fun!!!🤗🤗 Autumn Sunrise!!

[@nicolegilbride3776]

Let’s call her Moonshine since she opens in phases like the moon! Also I can’t wait to buy one of these tubers from you in a few years!

[@joycewinget8076]

Fire Magic is my favorite! So Prolific! Santa Clause is always the first Dahlia in bloom. Every flower is a little different. Totally tangerine is a small flower but picking a bouquet of them makes me happy!

[@Gracenglory5]

My Jowie Winnie and Lilac Time are super prolific too. My Lilac Time is over 7 feet tall!! I thought it was huge last year, but this year it’s off the charts! Only two tubers too. My A La Mode is gorgeous and getting huge but I planted it late and just now getting blooms opening. But 😍😍😍😍. Just gorgeous! Those Day Dreamers are stunning! Your new variety... Princess Frills. 🥰 Gorgeous! I want some tubers girl! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@justinehull7951]

The purple and white is called Arbatax

[@yuliamikhaylovskaya9781]

Zone 8b (PNW), the most prolific dahlias this year are: Senior's Hope, Jowey Joshua, Milena Fleur, Creme de Cassis, Rosella, Burlesca, Noordwijk's Glory

[@kathyreasor637]

My most prolific of all time was Milena that I purchased from Lowes last season. Beautiful also!

[@carriemoriarity5806]

I love the name Drama Llama! I had a bad dahlia year - mostly purchased from Eden Bros - what came up was in many cases mismarked. Jowey Morello (spelling?) was awesome for me! Also Karma Gold pom did great and had super long stems.

[@MikaCollier]

For your seed baby Dahlia I completely agree with Drama Lama. Its gorgeous. Unique name. 😁

[@lovepeace4635]

This spring I bought a bag blue bell 3 tubers dhalias from Home Depot . The color is beautiful purple and right now is like 3 flower shrub with lots of blooms . The stem is dark and huge flower. Love it

[@eileenmason5492]

I would call your new dahlia - tropical sunset. It is a beauty! All of my dahlias have bee great this year to spite the excessive heat we had here. I live in zone 7 in PA at the DE border. My most prolific bloomer by far was American Dawn. It started blooming in late May and has never stopped for a break. It has been remarkable.

[@laurasuitter2442]

Honka Pink has been prolific for me. Beautiful!!!

[@caroleshaw8389]

I grew Beets me dahlia from Swan’s this year. It was prolific, gorgeous and had strong stems. A lovely, lovely deep magenta, or beet color! If I have extra tubers when I dig it up I will send you one. :) Love those sunflowers!

[@michellegiles4152]

Oh I love the video and the flowers are so beautiful. But your personality is adorable and fun. Don’t change I love how real you are. For the seed dahlia that needs a name it reminds me of the color of a flamingo 🦩 it’s beautiful and I would buy seeds of it. Thanks for great videos I’m learning a lot

[@StormWarningMom]

I've never grown dahlias. I think I shall change that next year. And I want to grow them from seed, because flower surprises are the best surprises.

[@susanadarocha8863]

Thank you for sharing your favorite dahlias 😊 My most prolific dahlia was Thomas Edison and it also did very well in my mom's garden. We live in a Zone 5 and I started it indoors early May and I had blooms early August🤗

[@barbarafegley5566]

Lights out is a dark red decorative that has given me the most stems so far.

[@lisawarren8783]

Just grew a few for first time and the best is Great silence, crazy for Jesse and. Totally tangerine the big bloomers are just now flowering I live in North Idaho zone 5

[@packisbetter90]

Dahlias are the coolest looking flowers in my opinion.

[@websterren6309]

Arabian Night and Jowey Nicky were my most prolific as well as the earliest to bloom. Coming in third is Creme de Cassis. I'm in zone 6, outside of Pittsburgh. Love your videos!

[@ritzcracker334]

Zone 6a, and I love Lynn Slight dahlias!! There are SO many blooms. They are a deep burgundy/purple, and the stems aren’t too short.

[@mycherona1]

Kenora Lisa, Gabrielle Marie, and Sunspot have all been great for me! Kenora Lisa was my earliest bloomer and sunspot wasn’t far behind. Zone 5b in Maine.

[@lucylafayette2466]

My most prolific bloomer with strong stems and tons of blooms is American Dawn. It also lasts a long time in the vase. Love it! Also getting a good show from Diva, Breakout, Natalie G, and Cafe au Lait.

[@Nat-mk7gb]

Name suggestion: singing heart :). Made my heart sing when I looked at this dahlia. Thank you for this video. I found it very helpful. Can’t share my prolific dahlias because I haven’t had much success as of yet, single flower Bishops children seem to be doing great at our local Wisley garden. They appear tall, colorful and, from what I have seen, produces masses of flowers xxx

[@suekrebs3497]

As many have mentioned Maarn (also called Sylvia) has long, strong stems and many blooms. Also my best are Linda's Baby, Ivanetti, Cornel Bronze, Jowie Winnie, Cornel and Orange Symphony. Love your videos!

[@leskemp33]

My most prolific dahlia this year is Rebecca’s World. ( I’m zone 5) And oh my goodness! That dahlia from seed is amazing!

[@gildamolinar5155]

I ended up ordering the Mikayla Miranda because of your previous video. I'm so glad I did. Can't wait to get the tuber and plant for next year.

[@kimtobey3085]

I ordered two, just in case!

[@tattooedhamster]

Dad's Favorite and Caribbean Fantasy are my most prolific. My earliest to bloom, tons of blooms and very long stems.

[@valiumsurbanjungle2041]

I don't ever leave a comment, but wow, those blooms are simply gorgeous!! 😍 Mine only started blooming last weekend, I have no idea why it took them so long (we did have an unusually hellish summer, even for Greek standards) and there are still quite a few that don't even have buds on them yet. Hopefully we'll have some descent weather until early/mid December, so they might still bloom... Have a wonderful day.

[@jodizibell3007]

I think you would like American Dawn. Lots of long stemmed flowers on a sturdy plant. Thanks for the tour!

[@sheelaghomalley5459]

Islander has been pumping out blooms all season for me.

[@8stars922]

Sun kissed and bluetiful were the winners for me this year. Sun kissed is a simple pale yellow and it did seem to attract more bugs, but it was the first to bloom and continued blooming all summer long right up until our first frost this past weekend. Both Sunkissed and Bluetiful were continuous bloomers and the first to bloom. I’m zone 4a here in Alaska.

[@BrightestBlessings7899]

Your Dahlias are gorgeous!! Dahlias don't grow here in 6b. My best flowers this year, ( I'm not really a flower farmer), are Cosmos. They survived the smoke filled valley as well as the heat waves that hit us. Temperatures are cooler now and my Cosmos are still beautiful!

[@isabelbonilla2193]

First year growing dahlias. Zone 6. Wine eyed jill is the most prolific for me. 5' tall, long stems, and I'm seeing new shoots coming up, so probably a great tuber producer as well. I picked 11 stems out of one plant the other day, and there were over 10 more left on the plant.

[@melaniewilliams6499]

I love your information Crlebration and peach

[@wordvendor1]

Exuberant Nicohlia for your dahlia's name!

[@45jessiemad]

Wow!! They are all beautiful 😍. Pink lemonade? Or Pink and fabulous!

[@ramirofuentes4408]

My prolific dalia in zone 4 was Santa Clause. It grew about five feet tall and had 70-80 blooms between 2 tubers grown in raised bed. I will plant again and will send you a picture this new year 2023. Naming new dalia "Blushing Kiss".

[@minba1881]

My most prolific dahlias this year are 'sunny boy' , 'Milena fleur' and 'dutch silence'. SB & DS both start blooming the earliest for me. Dozens of stems on just two plants per variety. Love them, and your beautiful videos of course 😁🙋‍♀️ PS: I Think I'm in a zone 6.

[@ilenehales7849]

Wizard of Oz was my most prolific bloomer, but I'm not growing it next year cuz I want to try something new, Maarn was 2nd. Hope everyone who had a poor year has a better one next year.

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

I grew a few dahlias this year for the first time in my small garden. I found they bloomed late, in September - Zone 6B, New England. I did some research which said to try more water if you don't have blooms. I increased the water I was giving to my dahlias and they finally bloomed. I'm chalking it up to being new to dahlias and the fact that the weather was very severe in New England during the summer. We had very high heat and late summer had several severe rainstorms. I also think I may have planted them too deep.

[@BramptonGardener]

So pretty, I love all of the variety. I think you should name the dahlia 'frizzle frazzle' in honor of everyone favorite chicken.

[@mimialcala3516]

My most prolific dalia was great secret from longfield. You should name that dalia( seed one) Frazzled Dazzled after your favorite chickie

[@reginacaporn]

Sunrise delight

[@oasen-pa-asen]

American dawn! And it is sooo beautiful

[@pattymartin1433]

Most prolific for me this year is Ivanetti. Tons of blooms, strong stems and lasts a long time in a vase. 2nd is Rancho, lots of beautiful peach/yellow flowers.

[@pillekel]

Love your videos, thanks! Although in Europe, the equivalent of something between zone 4 and 5, my most prolific dahlia has been Kasasagi. It started first of all at the end of June and going stronger and stronger so far. It has a quite small flower, but its producing in abundance. The other good ones have been Baccara, Arabian Night, Spartacus and Nuit D'Ete, all of them this lovely dark dark red color. Spartacus seems to go off quite quickly in a vase, or I just have not found the right time to pick it yet. Nuit d'Ete is absolutely gorgeus cactus shape dahlia. Linda's Baby seems to produce good quality flowers quite in abundance aswell, and right by this one I grow Karma Fuchsiana, really pretty glowing dahlia, seems to produce quite happily aswell. Though it started a bit later than the dark red ones. Henriette, gorgeous color and long stems, suddenly bursted into blooms and it has a lot. I am utterly disappointed in Cafe au Lait, as it has not produced a single bloom yet.

[@rdm98607]

Nicole, sometimes you have to incubate a plant for a year if it blooms sparcely. I love a pom called Wizard of oz. its medium pink and was first to bloom and still going strong! Also a dinnerplate is penhill watermelon. Fantastic and very prolific if u can use dinnerplates.

[@TheFragrantBunch]

Can I just say how comforting your videos are? I am recovering from a dentist visit (I hate dentists) and this brought me so much joy :) And my favorite and most prolific dahlia is Fleurel. She was the first dahlia I ever grew and I will always grow her!

[@mycherona1]

I agree! I love to watch these before I go to bed, as they help me relax.

[@sabrinaduk646]

Gitt's Attention took a while to start blooming for me as well. But once it got going, it's been nonstop! Creme de Cognac has also been kind of meh. Absolutely beautiful when it first bloomed!! But it's taking forever to get to the second round.... Like almost six weeks. Depending on where the tubers originally came from, they might need a season to adjust 🤷🏽‍♀️ Thanks for sharing your garden!! 😁 Super glad your dahlias had a much better year!!

[@Darveolsen]

My most prolific dahlia is without doubt the beautiful cactus dahlia Chat Noir! It just keeps giving:)

[@cooknvixenrican7859]

Great video!

[@blackberryhillfarm941]

Only my first year growing them, but my best performers here in Wisconsin zone 5b were Star Elite (pretty bi-color cactus) and Peaches (baby pink, not peach, water lily). My Cafe Au Lait also preformed well but the bugs loved to eat them.

[@gardenfunwithjane4897]

Colorado classic was amazing. Utah zone 6 here

[@terryarmelin1848]

So very happy that you are enjoying the Anthony Armelin Dahlia that makes us so happy! You are going to be impressed how well it stores! Your gardens are such an inspiration we enjoy each video thank you so much for sharing. Terry Armelin

[@anniebeulah8259]

Nicole! I have really loved following your flower journey! The coral double Dahlia you grew from seed is a stunner! Name idea: Coral Frizzle Frazzle ;) My fav Dahlia's from this season: Triple Lee Dee, Jowey Linda, Cafe au Lait, Petra's Wedding and Bride to Be.

[@lesliem3]

Yes to Frizzle Frazzle!!!!!

[@yoclark2723]

I love your dahlia patch! I am a fan of all the Joweys. I ordered a bunch of colors just last week. Your new dahlia should be named Sunset Punch.

[@andreasamuels5875]

The unnamed flower reminds me of pink lemonade , paradise plum would be good too :)

[@nelleethompson8741]

Julio (purple ball) and Figurine (waterlily white, pink, purple) were the best producing dahlias in my little cut flower garden.

[@alissaeyre8302]

My favorite, prolific varieties were "cartouche", which is dark purple, and "Little Robert", which is perfect for bouquets!

[@NewMindGarden]

Beautiful.. 🌷🌷

[@Frank5921]

I would go, with your name of Drama llama! Outstanding!

[@keithgibson1000]

I grew 15 varieties this year. 2 standouts for number of blooms, consistency of bloom, and good stems were ‘Brown Sugar’ and ‘Blyton Softer Gleam’. ‘Blizzard’ also bloomed like crazy but the flower form was less consistent and the bugs like them.

[@cookingwithlie445]

Good morning miss beautiful your flower I support you always

[@rachelmorrison1399]

I am in Northern New Jersey (Zone 6a) and I grew Thomas Edison dahlias this year and omg they have just been GORGEOUS and absolutely COVERED in blooms all summer since early July. Definitely recommend them for production!

[@mycherona1]

I have one Thomas Edison this year and I want so many more next year! They are amazing!
