I think this is considered an orchid dahlia . I found this image on the web ( gorgeous ) but I have searched and searched but can't find any info on this Dahlia . Can anyone here help ? Thanks in advance.

I have been looking at Orchids a lot the past couple of years, and have never seen that one.

http://riversdahlias.com/index... has this one which looks similar but unless you were shopping in Oregon...

River’s Ribbons Dahlia

Dahlia 'Asahi Chohji'

You guys are amazing.... identifying the dahlia like that. And it is indeed a gorgeous one.

Yes, I agree with Mary a 1,000%. Having a plant I cannot id drives me crazy. Even if it is happy and thriving for me, it still leaves me unnerved. It feels like I have to know the name to do right by it. It seems I am not the only victim of this affliction, and I am always impressed by the short order you guys id things, and so relieved for the gardener who finally knows their plants name.

finally found my way back here . Whew! Boy I hate changes . Anyway just wanted to say thanks to those who took the time to help me out with this id . I appreciate your help
