Easlier in the year I posted a picture of a dahlia with interesting
foliage

Sacha asked what the flowers were like.
Well here are 2 pictures of the flowers taken over the weekend

It is standing at around 5ft now, but is close planted.


Did you breed it yourself David and are the flowers really a clear solid
pink as in the photos?


I would describe it as between lilac pink and lavender pink, (A
blueish pink).
Get a different colour on each of my moniters so not easy to get a
definate colour
This may be closer

Orchid Pink then. :-)
Nice looking plant.


Wonderful 'in your face' colour. I really do like that a lot.
