That picture is from the first year I had it. It was growing close to, a couple of Awaikoe Collarette Dahlias.

The second year, the Kaiser Wilhelm Ball Dahlia, looked like a totally different type of dahlia. so, I don't know if I can still call it a Kaiser Wilhelm Ball Dahlia. For now on, I'll have to grow different types of dahlias in different areas, if I want to keep them pure.

That second year, I had placed those two types of dahlias together again, and by the end of that summer, the Kaiser Wilhelm Ball Dahlia, had changed again. The Awaikoe Collarette Dahlia didn't change at all, though. I haven't seen the blooms this year, though, I'll find out how they look soon.

For me the Kaiser Wilhelm looked like advertised by Old House Gardens the first year. Next year the yellow predominates, don't know what 2012 will bring. May be an heirloom but doesn't bloom consistently with color.
