Great photo Ste, I can take the neck brace off now. Just imagine if you had 3 or 5 blooms like that, placed them in a show when the judge walked down to have a look at your vase  Would it win or would it be thrown out, Tel ? |

Daughter no. 1 can't get her head around the concept that you can have a 'bronze' coloured dahlia. Did you get the Ted Collins' Book, Moonlight ? |

That would be a good one ste b ! Hehe delighted I don't have to crick my neck looking at your pictures now ! Haha I hope you get a proper full sport on that Diane. Would be a good one. Would have loved to see a judge look at that Pom ! Talking of colour got this flower opening the colour is insane. Stillwater brilliant and more about to start flicking. If I have a decent one gonna show it. Ac Abby amazing raspberry red with yellow centre but clock faced got another that i have managed to adjust the angle and about to start flicking supposed to be a med cactus looks more a small but looks long petal. Enjoying watching them open and develop. |

It would not get thrown out, if it was entered in the Small Decorative class and they fit through the judges ring, it would be ok. To win who knows, first class form, If the blooms are all equal in the colour split then yes it could win, big doubt on 3 blooms or 5 blooms been identical on colour. Would be a first though. |
