Dark Purple Pompon Dahlia - Unknown Variety - September 2024

I'm (now) pretty sure that when I planted Cornell Bronze Dahlia tubers this Summer, I was *actually* planting something else.  Why?  Because...the blooms that are coming up in both IB2DWs and in the southside cut flower bed are, well...NOT bronze.  They're dark purple.  Or dark maroon.  And they're small pompons.   

Floret has a listing for a Moor Place Dahlia that she calls 'button dahlias'.  That sure looks like what I'm growing.  See below for a few photos of three blooms that I recently cut:

You'll also notice in the photos below, a small orange bloom.  That was cut from the sideyard - so I'm *pretty sure* that's an Orange Nugget Dahlia.  But, I also cut one of these from the IB2DWs bed earlier - where I called the bush a bi-color mutation.   So, that's weird, right?  One tuber showing two different flowers?  In two different spots?  

I'm (now) thinking that this is LESS of a mutation and more of a mis-labeled tuber situation, right?  

I've found my Dahlias to be 'cut and come again' bloomers, so here's hoping that cutting these out will produce even more blooms on the stalks.
