| My Karen Kuhn got planted late as it was not on the "Must Have" list but made a few pretty flowers at the end of the season. I look forward to giving it more of a chance next time. Has anyone grown Camano Sunshine? What did you think of it. I had ordered it from Corralitos last year along with Yesterday. CS didn't make it in the garden. I am wondering whether it is worth trying again. I liked "Yesterday", but found the petals a bit messy. Camano Sunshine is supposed to e very productive. Salish Dahlias |

Ferncliff Lemon Aura is our 2016 challenge flower. Very bright yellow and great form. |
|
|||
| I always like to see Lemon Aura and am not sure why we haven't grown it yet . |
|
|||
| It is very short, about 2.5-3 ft tall. It has lots of little tuber fingers, and is very determined to live in even inhospitable places. The flowers tend to bloom in the bush if unbudded. CC |
|
|||
| I have had some stock that grows short like that but it is generally 4 ft and quite healthy. Disbudding does help, but late season or partial shade helps stem length too. |
|
|||
| Really? I'm surprised. I've seen it in other gardens and it is always short. Perhaps it's the stock in this area. CC |
|
|||
| I saw it blooming at Ferncliff Gardens in October and really liked it. It is on my order. I think it was a good 4' there or I would have noticed that. Salish Dahlias |

| Ferncliff Lemon Aura does have very skinny ray florets. As I look through the pictures on google images, it appears to be a straight cactus in some gardens and an incurved cactus in others. It won a best triple in a show and here is a link to the picture. The flowers are trying to be a bit incurved: http://www.dahliasocietyofohio.org/Images/DSO_Show_2012/Fern... We like to place a sign on our porch that says: We are in the garden. Really, we are always in the garden. |
|
|||
| I've always seen it with a slight incurve. Wonder if there has been a split in the stock, or it's just coincidence. CC |
|
|||
| I've had both in the same season. I believe the earlier season blooms tend to be more incurved. The one I posted above was an October bloom and very straight. |

| What yellows are you trying this year ? New or old |
|
|||
| AC William. John Kreiner is sending me his A sized yellow seedling to trial. And replanting: Ryecroft Magnum, Bloomquist Barbara Ferncliff Lemon Aura Chimacum Julia Windhaven Highlight Windhaven Blush Ryecroft Laura Penhill Yellow Queen Sea Nugget Lakeview Glow Plus loads of others. |
|
|||
| When I went through my lists, there are more yellow dahlias than I thought. New for me this year Skipley Mello Yello Edna C Clearview Sharron Chimacum Julia Lakeview Glow Returning from Last year Kristin Lynn Polventon Supreme Camano Stroll AC Golden Nickels Citron De Cap Nettie Hamari Accord Bloomquist Barbara Honka Old Favorites Inland Dynasty Harvest Moonlight Kelvin Floodlight Lucky Ducky Plus several light blends that are predominately yellow Keith H Braken Lorelei Windhaven Blush Verone's Dana Korb Yellow Highlight Hart's Bonnie |
|

| Last year I realized how few yellow I had, so yellow [and red] are a focus this year. New for me this year: Bloomquist Barbara Chimacum Julia Clearview Sundance Constantine Lemon Croydon Ace Encore Ferncliff Lemon Aura Inland Dynasty Skipley Mello Yellow Honka Returnees: Clearview Daniel Northlake Heritage Alva's Supreme Evelyn Foster [not a true yellow] |
|

| I'm trying a bunch of new yellows this year (apologies if some of these are not officially classed as 'yellow'): AC Big Johnson Nargold AC Chicken Ranch Ivory Palaces Irene's Pride Fool's Gold Jaden Charles Happy Day Encore Almand Delight Fantasia I grew Wyn's Conquistador last year and liked it very much. |
|
|||
| Almand Delight???? Not in the classification book. We like to place a sign on our porch that says: We are in the garden. Really, we are always in the garden. |
|
|||
Yet additional and abject apologies if they are not officially classified as yellow.  |
|
|||
This catalog image for Almand Delight is what caused my confusion. |
|
|||
| Only one Almand variety now in the classification book while I am sure there are many in the consolidated book. I used to grow several. We like to place a sign on our porch that says: We are in the garden. Really, we are always in the garden. |
