Hello, does anyone grow this that can post some pics? I've heard it talked of so highly that I am very surprised that I can't find more than two photos of it on a Google search. Wyn's own photo has got a lot of flash reflection and the only other pic I've found was at FGL Dahlias and their photo is just identified as "Moonlight Sonata" without the "Wyn's". So I'm not even sure that it is the same dahlia. It probably is since it has the same look, but I'm not sure.

Thanks, Annabeth

It's the same...starting last year a lot of the growers or should I say the originators of dahlias have started putting their name or trademark on their dahlias like "Wyn's" or "Hollyhill"....I'll see the grower next week and see if I can get a better photo...might check the Colorado Dahlia sight, there might be one there...

That's what it looks like alright-- the vibrant colors of dark pink, orange & yellow blended together!

Here's a picture of Wyn's Moonlight Sonata in our gardens. It was one of our first introductions-- & still is our most popular introduction.

Thanks for the pics, Plantlady! OK, I see now that what I thought was reflection from flash in your first photo was the pinkish-yellow blend on the top petals of the bloom! They look awesome. I think your sold out for this year already, right? I'll have to put that on my list for next year.

I've said this before but I'll say it again: Thanks for creating beauty in the world! Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Annabeth. The really fun part of hybridizing is never knowing from one day the next what you're going to find out in the seedlings- it's like Christmas day all summer with new seedling babies opening every day!
We usually sell out of Moonlight by Nov. it's been so popular all over the world!
