nolajoe Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Different specimens with different colored flowers of the same plant . The first photo shows the long brown flower stem with an out of focus flower and the leaf structure. The second photo is another specimen with a different colored flower. There's also one with an all white flower. Google image search was no help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 That's a dahlia. When the flowers are weird on any plant it's called a sport and can be used to make another variety with just the particular flower form. The first photo is of a variety that is supposed to look like that. The other photo is of a throwback to the original parents of the new variety.

cedros Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 My first thought was a Dahlia but then I looked at different pictures of Dahlia and wondered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolajoe Posted August 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Thanks, everybody. These flowers are unusual and pretty and I did not recognize them as dahlias. Now I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
