Up-potting dahlia seedlings and admiring their babiest of tubers beginning to take shape. The fun thing about dahlias, like apples, is you never know what the plant will produce when grown from seed - 100 plants from the same parent will likely all have different foliage and flowers. Dahlias are an Aztec food crop - the tubers are for eating, but hundreds of years of breeding for pretty flowers has caused a drift in genetics away from tasty large tubers (with some exceptions). #acocotli #watercane #dahlia #dahliaseedlings #babytuber #octoploid #transposons #aztecfood
