Ball dahliasThe specific judging standards for the form are described below. See Judging Guidelines for additional standards that apply to all types. Bloom size may be Miniature (under 120mm) or Small (120mm to under 160mm). |
Judging StandardBlooms should be fully double and spherical like a ball. Centre should be as high as the surrounding face florets. Florets should be uniform in formation throughout the bloom, involute for most of their length and fully involute, to the extent of edges touching (forming tubes) for at least half their length. Tips should appear to be rounded or blunt. Florets should be compactly arranged without gaps between rows. Florets on the back half of the bloom should not flatten completely, still maintaining the tube effect of involute florets. Back florets should reflex fully to the stem. |
