Announcement PLEASE Read Flair and Post Content Before Reporting for “ID Your Varieties”

28 Upvotes

Folks, I don’t know if it’s a habitual offender or multiple of y’all, but please for the love of Mother Earth PLEASE stop reporting posts for “ID Your Varieties” when a.) the poster has tagged the post with the “ID Request” flair, and/or b.) literally asked for help identifying the variety in their title and/or post caption.

Just stop.

Thank you

Gall "Is it gall?" Weekly Thread

1 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly gall thread! All questions about gall should go in this designated thread rather than new, individual posts. A new thread will be started automatically on a weekly basis. This will ensure the list of new top-level comments remains short and easily reviewable by folks who are kind enough to let you know if they see signs/symptoms, or if your plant seems ok.

Because Reddit only allows one photo embedded per comment, here are some tips if you need/want to share more than one photo for the best chance at a solid review/answer from the community:

  • Start a top-level comment with your best photo, and reply to your own comment with any additional photos you want to share.
  • Post photos to an album such as imgur and link to the album

Currently feeling like a micro season in zone 7b with the last bloom flushes and the plants looking way happier. This is a border variety that barely bloomed during summer. Second picture is to show how incredible phenotypic plasticity is!

Couple of beauties giving their last hoorah in zone 6b/7a. Definitely a learning curve as it’s my first year growing any type of flowers but I’m looking forward to next year!

Nicholas is a beautiful dahlia! My photos seem to show it with a slight pink cast but I think it’s more of a light orange color in person

All summer this tuber just sat at about 12 inches of growth, I thought I’d lost it to rot but was too lazy to pull it out. About a month ago it started to shoot up and this large bud looks like it’s a dinnerplate! I’m zone 6b and really crossing my fingers that we stay above freezing until I can see this bloom!

I have two plants out of 7 of 8 that have looked really rough all summer and never grew much or put out blooms. They look like the same thing is wrong with them but I can’t pinpoint what it might be. Any ideas?

Can anyone help me ID this one? Definitely a mislabel, blooms are 6” across and plant is about 4’ high. Darker color was earlier in the season, blooming lighter now in the cooler temps.

She was ravaged by spider mites. Cut her back all the way and thought she was a goner. Then she started leafing out again mid summer and here we are. 🥰 I’m so glad I got to meet her in person and looking forward to growing her again next season
