About Lake Ki Sunrise
Lake Ki Sunrise was hybridized by Monti Cangiamilla of Arlington, Washington. Its memorable color, distinctive anemone center, garden productivity, and performance on the show bench distinguished it as a variety worthy of introduction.

At the 2024 American Dahlia Society National Show in Wenatchee, Washington, Monti Cangiamilla’s triple entry of Lake Ki Sunrise received Best Triple Anemone Dahlias. Presenting three blooms together requires more than one exceptional flower. Each bloom must demonstrate the consistency, form, and quality necessary to compete as a unified entry. Lake Ki Sunrise has continued to earn ribbons and head-table recognition as more growers have begun exhibiting it. The variety also received a score of 87.3 in trial-garden evaluation and 89.5 on the American Dahlia Society bench.
A Release in Memory of Chumlee
Lake Ki Sunrise carries a story that extends beyond the garden. Chumlee, Monti’s late beloved English bulldog, was a cherished part of his life while Lake Ki Sunrise was being grown and selected. In Chumlee’s memory, every Lake Ki Sunrise purchase will generate a donation to the Bulldog Haven NW.
