Arabian Night Dahlia

love that deep red...

Thats lovely Bloomer, looks like my first one is going to be yellow

Lovely velvety Red and what a bargain too!

Thanks girls,I love this colour too...

Well done Sandra....mine is nowhere near flowering yet....I agree....a gorgeous colour :-o))

I got one of these from Wilkinsons too, it's a fantastic colour and flower shape isn't it. I've only started growing dahlias this year, GOYs fault:-)

Thanks Louise,..think it could be something to do with good old yorkshire air.? ,ie,result of recent Chemical fallout,I posted a blog on,not long since.Lol.I was inspired by your's on here..look what you started,...I'm pleased to say:o)).
Bornagain,I agree,its lovely.I have only started with Dahlia's too,as a result of GOY, (see above comment).I found a packet of single ones too,in the jumble of seed packets in my box..freebies from a Gardening Mag ages ago,and they are all budding now,so looking forward to seeing what colour they are..so exciting :o)

I bought some 'dark leaf' ones too, they are almost ready to flower, GOY has a lot to answer for:-)

Glad to see more Goy'ers getting "the bug"....:-o)))

You keep your Northumbrian bugs to yourself,Lou,I have enough of my own,,
thank you very much ...:o))))

LOL...:o))

Arabian Night is a favourite of mine....its lovely....

Glad you like them too Motinot,they seem to be a popular variety.All four of mine have ,and still are, lovely,so will definitely be trying some more varieties next year..
