New to gardening in general, and even newer to dahlias. What is eating my blooms? Whatever it is is heavy enough to break the stem of its flower snack. Squirrel? TIA!

    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.

    It could have been a slug/snail when the flower was in bud form
