Seems to have recovered this morning though.

Thanks Grindle, it is spot on this morning.
For a seedling it is a good healthy plant, with a lovely straight and hard stem. Some dahlias need plenty of potash to harden their stems, the seedlings have not had any feed of any kind.
So this plant is a healthy plant and will reach up to 3ft and looks like it will be a easy plant to grow either in the garden/pot.
A good all round plant that maybe could make a exhibition dahlia.
Just one hurdle to get it over now, the storage over winter.
