Wow !
They had a lovely display of dahlias at Wentworth Castle this week , 'Fashion Monger' was one that really appealed to me and I found the Dahlia Society sell cuttings of it ! plus far to many more lovely ones lol.

Just had a nose at "Fashion Monger" so it realy changes colour "Part of a range of Collarettes Dahlias with a single row of flat petals and a collar of shorter florets, which surround decorative centre balls. Loved by bees. Deep raspberry petals with cream edges. Height 90cm"
