Out of 35 plants, 6 have been producing these unique blooms.
Nope, it's just 6 plants of the same variety showing this trait. None of the other varieties planted nearby are exhibiting the same behavior.

The plants are 100% dahlia and bloom in the summer. They're called 'Daffodahlia' due to their appearance, but this is a mutation — there are 0% daffodil genetics in these plants.
Nope! I spoke with the grower who experienced a similar bloom, and they confirmed it's not the same variety of dahlia.
