Thanks Sacha for the picture
Like others I am sure that the flowers had been dyed, as to Chrysanth
or dahlia then the best way to tell is by the stems, Chrysanth stems
are more woody than dahlia stems.
I aminclined to think they were Chrysanths as it is a little early for
dahlias, though there are some comming into flower, but on the other
hand it is also a bit out of season for chrysanth blooms.
I have posted the picture onto a dahlia site to see what comments I
get from there.

Could it be Dahlia but put in a vase with red colouring? I know a
florist who used to put colour in the water to give a different aspect
to the flower??
