Nick Sr. was one of my favorite dahlias. I grew it for several years but lost all the tubers to shriveling one winter. Since then, I have ordered from 3 different suppliers and by some strange coincidence, all three were mislabeled. I bought another one this spring and if it's mislabeled, I give up. Fingers are crossed!
This photo is from 4-5 years ago. I love the way the petals curl over to show the lighter colored underside.
