    This one steals the show! Just planted it this last spring and it already has a half dozen tall, long-lasting, big, and beautiful blooms open for butterflies and friends to enjoy. Prettier than the pictures!

    Dahlia Tubers (Anemone-Flowered) - Polka

    Love it, for some reason I only got to see two flowers this season, at only one little branch but there the most beautiful colors, not to mention the size of the flowers. I hope next year they look better.
