I know I've said it lots this year but this is definitely one of my favourite dahlias! It starts out dark fushia and lightens as it opens. The shape is wonderful and it's so photogenic. It's classification is M-C-DB, which means miniature, straight cactus, and dark blend. This bloom is 4" across and stands 2.5' tall. I can't wait to see it open completely.
I love this one too!! I wouldn't have guessed it was a cactus though. Looks like the petals are too fat for that. Guess it will take a little longer before I am getting them right every time :)
ReplyDeleteThe outside petals are just starting to curl back. I'm too impatient to wait to take pictures.
ReplyDeleteWell, the colour is really cool and it is almost too bad the petals are going to curl although it will likely look just as good. I like this photo a lot.
