The Bodacious has not lived up to my size expectations, but it does have a lot of flowers on a 4-5' tall plant.
The Emory Paul looks NOTHING like the photo on Swan Island website, but I've only got one flower so far(about 6 inches)

Properly grown in a mild climate like that in Western Washington State, Emory Paul can reach 14 inches in diameter with little care and will be as big as 17 inches(I have seen one this large in a show) in a good year. It may be the largest flower in diameter of all dahlias.

Those look good ! The Bodacious is a fun festive bloom even if its not huge. I never have that many open blooms on a large plant at one time, only on my smaller types. Try to drop the expectations and enjoy what you have!
