Merry Christmas, happy holidays and happy New Year dahlia friends!! May 2025 be a fabulous year!
One of the only red dahlias I grow. This is HH Tiger Rose and she’s a beauty!
Happy Dahlia-days!

Most often, when a variegated variety sports to a solid color it is not a very attractive color. The red sport of HH Tiger Rose is a very nice, non-fading, clean color and stands on its own.

To go with the red dahlia-day theme! Gilly's Swan Song from 2014. Probably extinct unfortunately.
Wow both of those are gorgeous! Here is my only photo of a holiday-ish dahlia. This was the last gasp of the garden, on November 10, in fact. The big red one is Apopa Cindy, which I received in a trade from @Krista Thank you for bringing this fun beauty to my collection!
Happy Holidays to all of you! I’ve been down with covid, which is why I’ve been quiet for a few weeks. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2025. I’m so grateful for all of you 
JessieC Thank you for sharing the happy bouquet! Best wishes for your recovery from Covid to speed on up! 
My wife & I were celebrating our 24th anniversary today, and just capped the evening with her tossing her cookies in dramatic fashion…I’m afraid our household’s coming down with something, too. 
Hoping we will get it out of our systems & enjoy a healthier beginning of the new year!
Here’s my Holi-dahlia photo. Hollyhill Masquerade. I was tickled to get a tuber from Allison at Kale Lane dahlias to grow this year. Really dramatic blooms in person, really loved them! One of many wonderful varieties from Margaret & Ted that have made me smile, growing in my garden.
If you keep track of such things Masquerade was a seedling of HH Court Jester. And of course Court Jester was a seedling of HH Jokers Wild.
JessieC You are most welcome, Apopa Cindy looks so pretty in your end of season arrangement! And I hope you’re beginning to feel better very soon, so sorry to hear you’ve been under the weather over the holidays.
Laia Happy anniversary to you and your wife; I do hope you can celebrate properly once everyone is feeling better. Your Hollyhill Masquerade is lovely!
