Not quite true, 'Fascination' can have purple *and* cerise/pink flowers. I
know my dahlias!

I've found D. Fascination on a Google image and this most certainly is not
the flower I'm trying to find. The colour is much, much more deep pink. In
the middle where the petals are young, it's almost a purply pink. The rest
of the flower is a vibrant pink which has a certain amount of black in it -
not at all a bluey pink. Unhappily, the photograph I sent to David bleached
out some of the colour with the flash.
