Regarding the plant "Dahlia 'Kelsey Annie Joy'" in @dnrevel's plant list

dnrevel said:2020, First year growing this dahlia. It was among the first to bloom, in July, from a new tuber purchased online. Planted in a pot in perennial - bird bath garden. It is still blooming in October. Unique, lovely, sturdy and long lasting blooms.

2023: This has become one of my all time favorite dahlias, this beautiful collarette. I cannot get over it's lovely form, it's apricot, light orange and yellow tints and its vigorous nature. BONUS: it blooms early!

Downside, blooms are fragile and do not travel well.

Kelsey Annie Joy Dahlia, July to October blooming (SE Michigan)

It grew well in a large pot, right next to a ground grown Magic Sunrise dahlia.

It doesn't look like a typical dahlia. It has a delicate two layers structure, lovely salmon orange and yellow petals and pink edges. It also attracts the butterflies and is long lasting.
