What dahlia cultivar is it that is in the thumbnail for this article? It's the purple/pinkish with white and looks like a dahlia from Wynne's. [Last edited Dec 21, 2010 10:05 AM CST] Quote | Post #516687 (1)

Those are/were Normandy Alexis and a great hot pink on white that bloomed in groups. Sadly, I didn't manage to save one tuber. It's only available from B & D Dahlias, the originators of Normandy dahlias Annie http://cubits.org/dahlias Quote | Post #517013 (2)

Ah, they hybridize some fantastic dahlias. I'm surprised I haven't heard of more of the Normandy tubers. Quote | Post #517059 (3)

He's had to cut back a far way since I fist visited their place several years ago. Normandy Copper Glow is fabulous! Funny my Normandy Alexis is quite different from their photo, but I loved the color and the flowers. Annie http://cubits.org/dahlias Quote | Post #517730 (4)
