Dahlia ‘Debra Renae’ is a bold, beautiful red with a dark striped edge, giving it a shadowy look. Also in the vase: burgundy Dahlia ‘Voodoo’, gloriosa daisies (Rudbeckia hirta), pink blush flowering tobacco (Nicotiana alata), white and pink spider flower (Cleome hassleriana) and purple Verbena bonariensis.
A second vase holds cigar plant (Cuphea ignea) and Dahlia ‘ Giggles’ (in profile) and ‘Debra Renae’.

Such lovely arrangements! Are these flowers actually in bloom in your garden right now? If so, that is very cool mid-October.
