Found this photo, but it had no identifying text with it, other than it was a dahlia. Does anyone know the name?

Thank you!

I have no idea but it's quite startling and I believe quite beautiful. Steve in Baltimore County. Would love to swap you for a tuber of it.

Hi Steve -
I think it is beautiful too! Unfortunately I don't have this, but am looking for it! It looks similar to Amy's Star which I've seen on various nursery's websites.

It is similar to Tahoma Moonshot, but it has a yellow background instead of the beautiful white one you have! Northland SParkler is also similar.

I believe that you found this picture on the Australian dahlia site for the Canbera club. I had Max Ollieu check with his Aussie friends and verify that this dahlia is Araluen Nola bred by Ron Wilkes of Australia. As far as I know, it has never been imported to the USA. The breeder Mr. Wilkes comes to the USA each year and he visited my garden last year. If I had known about this excellent flower, I would have asked him about it.
