ORCHID FLOWERING DAHLIAS 
This type of dahlia is most interesting, and popular 
for landscape effects, table decorations or graceful, 
airy arrangements. ‘The bushes are compact, free 
blooming and prolific Most of the flowers are 4 to 5 
inches in diameter, and bushes are 2 to 3 feet in 
height except where noted. Wonderful for landscape 
effect when pinched out once, but should not be 
thinned out nor disbudded. If Collarette, Orchid 
Flowering and Single dahlias are cut before the 
pollen shows, they will hold their petals and keep for 
days.
