Just A Sunday Puzzle of A Magnificent Dahlia

August 26, 2023 by Karen 6 Comments

You may remember that last week the puzzle was of my first AC Paint dahlia which was pretty magnificent looking. This week it is the same thing, but the flower looks totally different. Same flower, same plant, different bloom.

Don't worry, I'm going to show you the other AC Paint dahlia so you can compare them side by side in a second. I picked this a little bit before I should have because the petals are still all facing forwards. The optimal time to cut a dahlia is when the petals have started to open along the back.

That'll get you a long lasting dahlia as a cut flower and it will be as big and beautiful as possible. Dahlias do open up after they've been cut but not as much as some other flowers. So if you cut them too early you might not ever get the full effect of big, bursting bloom.

Both of these are AC Paint. The fact that every bloom is a little bit, or a lot different is a ridiculous amount of fun.

You can now make the puzzle with as many or as few pieces as you want.

CLICK THE 3 DOTS ON THE UPPER RIGHT OF THE PUZZLE. Then click "CHANGE NUMBER OF PUZZLE PIECES". You'll be able to select however many pieces you want up to over 200 pieces.
