The flowers are full to the center throughout the season. 

 They are thick but not ball-shaped, with broad, flat, somewhat 

 loosely arranged petals. The points are broad or rounded; 

 the tips may be straight or turned down and in some varieties 

 the margins are slightly rolled back. Within recent years 

 this type of Dahlia has been enriched with quite a number of 

 outstanding novelties. Whether used for garden display or 

 for cut flowers they always give the greatest satisfaction.
