Don’t think this Cornel Bronze

I bought this “cornel bronze“ from a local dahlia farmer. Its about 3 ft tall and the blooms around probably 3.5”. Based on my research, the petals don’t seem too oval and it’s blooms have lots of open centers. I‘ve grown cornel before and it was a much tighter ball shaped bloom. Let me know what your think!

Anyone in the Pacific Northwest having lots of bug pressure on their dahlias this season? I’m about 4 weeks into applying a weekly molasses foliar spray and the bugs haven’t let up. I’m mostly seeing cucumber beetles and earwigs, but the foliage on some of my plants also indicate thrips too 😑

Mini Bouquet featuring Mr. Bumble

My Lavender Campanula and Feverfew got a second flush (but with short stems), so I decided to scavenge my garden to make a mini bouquet 💐

Rust & Snapdragons

I’ve been dealing with rust in my snapdragon bed. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with their snaps rebounding or recovering from the rust? I water my beds with a hose and the bed is in partial sun so I think that is why they have rust. I was going to defoliate the rusty leaves and cut them back, hoping they will will get a second flush that is less rusty. Also, I’ll be sure the soil dries out between watering. Any tips are appreciated :)
