The Final 3

The last 3 Dahlias that I ordered were for a friend of mine for Christmas. Again as with my mothers she loves to garden and especially loves pink flowers. All 3 of them I would definitly grow myself. Hopefully she shares when fall comes 'round. =)


The first one is called "Cameo Peach"



Its an older model from 1974 growing 4 feet high with 7 inch blooms. This one will be fun to grow! A pink and yellow blend that gives it a peachy look. It is an exhibition style but also good for cutting.



Next up, China Doll



Introduced in 1994. It is considered a "dwarf" dahlia because the plant only grows to 18 inches BUT the blooms are 4 inches. A real beauty, with a yellow base and rose edged petal in a waterlily shape. This dahlia is an early bloomer.


The last introduction..... Raz Ma Taz


Talk about vibrant! Another that has a yellow base blending to a deep raspberry red. This is one that I wanted for myself but just don't have the room for it. A large producer of 2 1/2 inch blooms on a 3 1/2 foot bush, it is recommended as a cut flower and should do well in exhibition.


Well those are all of the Dahlias that I have ordered for myself, my family, and my friends. They ship mid April so I will be anxiously awaiting a large package in the mail! Next up I need to get my flower boxes going so I can tell you all about them! More to come! =)
