Caitlyn’s Joy is what happens when a dahlia decides to dress up as a neon planet. Perfect little tubes spiral into a tight geometric center—each petal a tiny lavender-purple tunnel that looks like it could slurp up starlight if given the chance. The color is electric without being loud, the kind of purple that could have been invented by a child with a brand-new box of crayons and no adult supervision. On the plant, she stays upright and steady, tossing out bloom after bloom with a quiet confidence that says, “Relax—I’ve got this part covered.” Caitlyn’s Joy is lively, precise, and just a touch cosmic.
