It will be interesting to compare it to scrumpys zoe sport. Looking forward to seeing them both side by side.

Mine not that long in the stem as of yet. Buds coming fast and now on all four. I hope it will stretch up.

I have one part open. Been battered by the rain the last three days. Seems to take the weather ok.

It will be a pretty addition to my garden dahlia collection.

Sabotage ! Hehe A half open jersie pounded by rain for the last three days. What I do like seems to have a nice natural angle to the bloom . None clock faced so far .

It's not impressing me yet ian . What I do like is the height of it. Very compact but decent stem length for such a low grower. Seems to take the weather but so far colour does not scream wow or even the form if it does not improve in the bin it goes hehe Eyeing up an old variety for next year for a special class of dahlias raised before 1966 as Kent's 50th anniversary. Looking at klankstad kerkrade and station house has stock but I might do Glorie van heemsted and try a waterlily. The one that the colour is wow is parkland rave a superb vibrant fushia pink. Let's see if flower any good. Just flicking now. I gave one to a friend and hers in flower and I liked it .
