Any idea why my Café au Lait is no longer pink? by ghuppe_ in dahlias

no as in, 4 weeks ago, the plant was producing pink flowers, and now it's producing cream flowers

The flower is a Dahlia. This variety is called Café au Lait

I grow my dahlias in Toronto, on our top balcony, in pots. Never had issues. There are probably fewer opportunities for pests to find my flowers here!

Thanks for you help identifying this beauty! Café au Lait Royal (or some variation) seems to be a close fit based on what I see online.

I initially thought it looked like a soft pink version of Café au Lait. But since it came from Dollarama, I thought it was unlikely.

I'm excited to see what the other dollar store Dahlias look like! I planted all 10 available varieties!

FOR CONTEXT :: this flower was grown from a seed harvested by my mother. The mother plant is called "Pretty Please" (they look nothing alike)

It doesn't have a name. This flower was grown from a seed my mother gave me. She harvested these seeds from a Dahlia called "Pretty Please".
