Eliza Waters 
So beautiful
Thank you, Sanjay 🙂
Such a luscious, velvety red. Lovely, Eliza.❤️
Thank you, Jane. I suddenly noticed the two-tone petals and love its complexity.
What a flamboyant beauty!
Thank you, Dale. New to me this year, she is a runway model… tall, slender and beautiful!
What a lovely description!!
That is a beautiful red colour! It is a amazing that you have Dahlias like this now.
Thank you, Maria. I will have them for probably another month before they start to slow down and frost gets them. That’ll be a sad day! 😭
This one is very pretty indeed – such a ‘rich’ red.
There is such variety among dahlias, this is a new one this year and I’m amazed!
Big red jewel. Very nice Eliza 🤗❤️🙏
Ruby rich! Thanks, Mark.
I love this photo, Eliza. Last month in my hometown, I saw a black dahlia in my Moms garden that my sister had given her, and it was in bloom, and it was stunning. Small, maybe could go unnoticed, but so rich. I’m happy to relive this memory this morning 😂🙏🏻.
Thank you, Randall. They are flowers that one can truly get lost in. 🙂
What a beauty Eliza! ❤️ xxx
Thank you, Xenia. Dahlias are so amazing to look at!
Stunning! Dahlias open slowly…it must have been fun to watch this one do just that.
Thanks, Alice. This one lasts long in a vase, too. So beautiful!
Oh my, now she’s a beauty.
Thanks, Judy. I noticed the two-tone petals and had to share, simply gorgeous!
Magnificent!
Thank you, Barbara!
Gorgeous! I don’t think I’ve ever met a dahlia I didn’t like!
Thank you, same here, such amazing flowers!
The touches of magenta and gold are wonderful complements to those velvety red petals.
Thank you, Linda. The two-tone was a surprise bonus I simply had to share!
Perfect!
Thank you!
Now she’s a drama queen!

Many thanks, and she is currently reigning over the garden!
Such a rich, beautiful red.
Thanks, Laurie, she’s a stunner, for sure!
Oh, my, this one is breath-taking … and I can’t help but LOVE its name, ha!!
🙂 Yes, a great name! 😉
♥️😍🥰stunning — a showy beauty!
Thank you! 💖
Glorious color! And thanks for the recommendation 🙂
Thanks, my pleasure, Tom!
Awesome !
Thank you!
This is beautiful
Thank you, Karina. 🙂
Very striking😊
Thanks, Belinda. It definitely catches the eye!
Wow! She’s special. I saw in the comments this dahlia is new this year. Great find.
Thanks, Susie. At 6′, my tallest, each bloom perfect!
Lovely red, and beautiful detail.
Thank you, Rebecca!
Hi Eliza.
Wow. Debora must have been quite a character. I’d love to have something as exuberant as that named after me.
MJ
Yes, one does wonder about who these flowers are named after. Explorers (male mostly) named the Latin after themselves, i.e., Poinsettia, etc. Breeders seem to favor women/children in their lives. 🙂
Do you live where you have to dig up and store your tubers over the winter? If so, where do you keep them?
Yes, it is too cold here. After the first frost I cut them back and let them sit for a week or so. Then I fork them up, hose them off and dry them in the garage for 24 hours. Next I cut them up, discarding the broken pieces, decide what I want and what to give away. All get wrapped in newspaper and put in paper bags. They are stored in my garage which stays around 40º except in January, when it can drop to before freezing and must be moved into the cellar until it warms again. A cooler can help insulate them as well.
Wow, what a stunner!
Thank you, Monika!
Oh my word, does Revlon know about this shade of red? Stunning!
Thanks, Alys! 😀 I bet they would love to copy this one.
No doubt!
Stunning. The flower looks like it has been cut from velvet. 🌹
Thank you, Caroline. Dahlias are the most amazing flowers!
Gorgeous color.
Thanks, Bela, it is a vibrant and velvety one!
