Bad Blooms
"Ordered 2 in Feb 2023. Both behaved the same. Grew quickly, budded-up abundantly, but the blooms are frightful, petals, if any woild develop were warped. It seems like omething bad happens during the blooming process. I've blamed myself and treated them for pests, treated for fungus, moved their containers to a variety of sun exposures, thought it was overwatering or underwatering, so I adjusted that without improvement. Came back to check the reviews and see this common complaint and now, at least I know I can stop obsessing & exhausting myself trying to fix something beyond my control. I'll give 1 star for the foliage, and another bc who knows. . . maybe next year they'll do better? I'll have to go over all my orders from all suppliers and evaluate the successes/failures to see if I can notice any patterns that could clue me in to the problem. Maybe it's just the nature of this dahlia?"
