Hillcrest Kismet- they call it pink

I don't know, this is a pretty, full bloom, but it is much more coral colored to me. See the second bouquet photo, and compare it to Rocket Snapdragon- a nice med light pink. It looks pink in this first photo.

Hillcrest Kismet is really a deep orangey pink blending into deep yellow on each petal. Would you call it coral? Vermillion?

I would call it coral, coral or pink it's got great form and strong color. Very lovely dahlia!

I planted a couple of Hillcrest varieties but they fell to tuber rot,d.....mmm. Have to buy new ones next year and try again.

Nice camera, Poochella

Stunningly beautiful dahlias is what I'd call them!! WOW

I'll go with the Coral designation; per the bouquet photo.
