After discussing with Brenda, that I think the latter Collarette is the best of the Collarette seedlings this season. Brenda agrees with me, we should name it Birkenshaw Ian Naylor, after her son who died this year. I think that it is a really pretty dahlia and that it's name makes it even more special. It has a lot to live up to. Hope it does you all proud.

First seedling opened and its a single and not even a nice one. Streaky colour and terrible form. There is another opening and that is a collarette though

I get a lot of those Raymond, if you plant 180 out and finish up with 2-3 to try again, i have done well. I would be happy to finish up with one decent seedling.

I think this one is worth looking at another bloom . What you think Tel and see if petals more even.

Tel me Dad says that if you have photos of those seedlings from different angles is will help to identify which classification it goes into. (I did that by fluke yesterday ).
