A tall grower with splendid habits and a very attractive 
plant. The color is bright watermelon pink. Some of 
the petals show tips of silver. It is a bright sparkling 
color and a very pleasing clean cut flower. Unusual and 
diseased insect resistant foliage and attractive shape. The 
petal of this dahlia has that rare ruffled formation which
