Dahlia 'Bill McKnight's Memory'

It's a nice tall one with dark leaves, and the first buds shrivelled up. I was really pleased to find a fully open bloom.

Nice one!

It's a bit different, isn't it. :-)

Lovely dahlia Spritz....

Yes, I think so. :-)))

i do like these dark foliage ones.

My 'Donald Ward' didn't even bother to grow shoots! I was soooo annoyed.

now i have this other one and there are lots of leaves [nibbled by slugs grrr] but no flower buds as yet.

Gone on to my favs Spritz...I want to remember this one....I love flowers that vary in pattern....:>)

It was a Taylor's one, I seem to remamber, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding it. :-)

I have a dahlia with dark red foliage and the flower is a bright red colour. Now the first 2 flowers only had single petals with a yellow centre but the next flower has multi petals completely over the flowerhead. Are these male and female? or just a throw back I wonder.

That sounds interesting...do you know its name, Linda?

Can't remember Spritz. I'll take a photo and post it up.

Just taken a photo if you want to have a look SPritz.

Thanks. :-)
