Another Dahlia - 'Raeann's Torch'

I am loving Dahlia! Meet 'Raeann's Torch', another collarette flower form. Her flowers are slightly larger than 'Hot Lips' at 5" but she grows to the same height of 4'. This is her colour when she first opens and she buds up even darker than this. However, very quickly, she matures to a lighter colour combination that always makes me think of a child's colouring book. Only her collar remains a darker lemon yellow. Whenever I walk by her in the garden I feel young again.
