I've grown hundreds of dahlias. Akita took my breath away. Deep mahogany red with white frosted tips and yellow heart.

Nikki LOL on the Canada question!

That is a dramatic, beautiful flower. I had "Akita No Hikari" but it frumped along and I finally pulled it at about a foot tall to find a totally rotten tuber. If those are the same flower, then I really missed out this year.

Enjoy that flower!

Hello,

did you ever see the dahlia Vancouver? That is also a beautiful dahlia and must be a sister of Akita. I will have a look on my PC, may be I have a new picture.

I grew both last year. Akita is a sport of Vancouver. I could only tell them apart by form - Akita was a deeper fluffier flower.
