Dahlia Time!

A new Dahlia variety for me this year, & to be honest, as the first blooms began to open, I wasn't sure it was a good 'un. 
But as it opened, the colour has softened to a bright pink, a hint of yellow at the petal base & each petal has a hand painted look. Stems are long & strong, vase life seems good too. 
Sometimes you just have to wait & see how flowers change over time. I think it's a keeper...
