    I believe that Oreti has this same dahlia in her garden. It is a lovely thing and just keeps blooming.

    Thank you @Sjoerd , I do indeed,....mine are from the Happy Single series. :like:

    Shocked I know that I actually know this :rofl: , it's because they are cuttings taken from one my Mum had in their garden . I always loved the contrast of the yellow and bronze leaves so after my parents passed away and before selling their property I took several cuttings. I was quite upset this year when I noticed they too had succumbed to Powdery Mildew..due to the exceptionally dry summer we had. They are now all looking good I'm pleased to say.:D

    Sjoerd Beautifully said and this dahlia with dark bronze foliage and bright yellow single petals definitely makes a huge impact and statement in the garden. Kudos to both Oreti and Sjoerd gardens .
