Jessie G is very nice and a big award winner. In the "Fab 50" of top award winning dahlias. Wish I had one! I think I have every other purple ball on the planet BUT Jessie G.

What kind of a dahlia display do they have at the NC State Fair? (Assuming it was in NC that you attended.) I missed our Western Wa State Fair this year- always a great inspiration for dahlias and other flowers.

I saw this dahlia at the cut flower competition and it was the clear winner in its class. Just perfect form, and the color is wonderful.

I have Jessie G and a couple of others close in color to it. They are Glenplace pom, Midnight pom, Island View Plush, "a personal favorite"is a min. ball,and Downham Royal another min ball.
