There was also a similar yellow variety nearby and perhaps another couple dahlias but I can't remember what kind. I started the seed this fall and was happy but surprised at what I got! Single bright pink with an yellow-orangish blush And a double same color scheme I'm looking forward to starting more from seed next year to see what surprises I find.

I took a few seeds from daylilies this year which have sprouted...I'll be very interested to see how they turn out for next year! Anticipation is half the fun Verdant0green - Northern California, Zone "9"   Dahlianut  Supporting Member My Weather Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 - 10:58 am EST :    Well done Suzy.
