Gorgeous! Keep them coming.

I love red dahlia's and that one sure is a beauty. Thanks for sharing, Granny.

Me too- never much wanted red and now I adore it! Added many more reds this year:

Caproz Razbr'y Twinkle
Helen's Alvin Sr.
Arabian Night
Cornel! Cornel just opened WOW! Willow's referral there, thank you!
Riverdance was available at Lowe's this Spring and a surprise lovely bloomer.

Hank's Big Red looks to be a winner Granny- great color and lovely, velvety petals. How big did it get to be eventually?
I was disappointed this a.m. cutting in the garden and had a fairly large, not mammoth, Spartacus that I was very barely shaking upside down to get rid of some rain/water. Of course, the stem let go right at the flower- couldn't even float it: there was nothing to absorb water. Bummer.

Hank is now over 6" wide, 6.5 maybe. It is slightly darker in person.

God Bless Hank! That is just beautiful.
