So many of the things I love about it would be an instant DQ for show. The petals do a lovely ombre fade in hot weather that I adore and it throws the occasional pale bloom. The colors of the blooms also change over the course of the season. It starts off smoky pink, shifts to juicy grapefruit during the peak of the summer sun and heat and then settles into a coral pink to end the season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd let's talk about that green center.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe first flush in my garden starts with a green center, or gumball as I am now calling it. I am so glad I didn't immediately toss it the first year because the way it develops is nothing short of amazing. The gumball goes away and the blooms are full 4\" blooms on strong dark stems with a great bloom attachment. Several of my friends that tested Baby Gumball didn't even experience the green center. If you are at all averse to a green centered dahlia then this one may not be for you. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDL's Baby Gumball is named after our son, Jake.  Our daughter affectionately called him Baby Gumball.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI hope you'll give DL's Baby Gumball a try!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e(Please note: I request that you please refrain from selling unverified cuttings of new DL releases in their introductory year.)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dandelion Lane Dahlias - Melissa Langstraat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47679884951811,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/9621\/9907\/files\/product-dls-baby-gumball-1-v2.jpg?v=1767318676","url":"https:\/\/dandelionlanedahlias.com\/products\/dandelion-lane-baby-gumball","provider":"Dandelion Lane Dahlias","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
