I received this as Color Spectacle. I am new to Dalihas but even I think it is mis-named ( but I do like it!). Huge 5 ft plant, about 7-8" flowers. Your help is appreciated! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Love what you teach and teach what you love! |

I can't even guess at a name but it's a great color. Contact the company and send photos; ask them to replace in spring and they will. Let's hope they send the correct one! |

Then all you can do is enjoy it and I'm sure you will. One year I got this one in a Home Depot "mix" and never did identify it and it didn't hold over winter. Wish I could find it again. ![]() |

There are thousands of dahlias out there, and its so hard to id most of them from a picture. If you bought it at a big box store it is probably from holland - a lot of those seem to be mis-named. It looks a bit like Barbara B, but I don't think that is what it is. |

Hmmmm, Doing an Internet search and looking at other pictures this may actually be color spectacle just not showing white tips. Regardless it is staying! ![]() ![]() ![]() Love what you teach and teach what you love! |
