Just yesterday, I posted a photo that hinted at the idea that on of my dahlia tubers - an Orange Nugget Dahlia - was growing two different color flowers . Today, the top bloom opened-up and it is anything but orange. Have a look at the photo below showing a perfect, dark purple ball (or pompon?) Dahlia perched on top and then peek below in the foliage for an Orange Nugget Dahlia hiding about half-way down the plant. Two blooms, same tuber. If you look closely to the left of the purple bloom, you'll see a couple more buds being set. What color will they be? I'm guessing purple.
