Hi folks, new to the sub and dahlia gardening in general. A local thrift shop takes donations from the Philly flower show. These were labeled as bleeding hearts but look nothing like the photos online. To me these look like dahlia tubers I’ve seen. Did the shop label these correctly?I would be happy either way but it does change planting greatly. Thank you in advance!

This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.

I don’t think those are dahlia tubers, either. Maybe [Four O’clock roots](https://share.google/S9fa8QoJHkUp8FHtv)?
These don’t look SUPER like dahlia tubers, as they are missing their growing end if they are :/
