Some new ones for me this year

This planting season has been hectic because of my indoor orchids taking up so much time. I ended up losing all my tags for the new Dahlia varieties I got so I still need to look through my invoices to figure out what's what. Hope everyone's having a great season and I enjoy looking at all your pictures.

Ok. That does it. I'm going to have to add some dinnerplate size next year. If you ever figure out what the huge light pink one is in the second picture, let me know.

The large purple with the petals bending back toward the stem is Vasso megos. Love that one.

Beautiful LinhT! The dark red with that same wavery recurving petal as Vassio Megos looks like Spartacus. Perhaps the pinky/red with white edges is Canby Centennial?

I like the very first one. Is it deep pink or more red?

RE: Some new ones for me this year

You guys are good! I checked my order on the Swan Island website for the names. From top to bottom...

Raspberry Punch (my freebie)
Vassio Meggos
Canby Centennial
Coral Gypsy
unsure what variety
Spartacus

The 5th photo is actually a variety that I was able to keep over the winter, not one from this year's order. I think it might be Kenora Wow but I'm not positive. I'll have to check my photos on flickr.

Poochella, Raspberry Punch is a very dark magenta. It was really hard to capture the true color of this one. You have to see one of these in person. I LOVE the color of this and will have to grow it again next year.

I had Raspberry Punch one year, planted late, but it never got very 'punchy' here in my limited sun. Same for Canby Centennial! But they're all stunning in your garden.
