Sharon, holy jumpin' cadoodle hopper. Now that was one beauty of a flower. When I first saw the picture before I clicked on it to enlarge, I could have sworn that that had a happy face staring me right in the eyes. I can't wait for these dahlias to mature, surely, by looking at the centre on this plant, it must hold galores of bright yellow pollen, yeah!!!! Have a beautiful and wonderful day, lovin' this life we live. Cndi
