Dahlia 'Senior's Hope'

Of all the dahlias I grew this year, 'Senior's Hope' is my favorite. It's hard to see in this photo, but the reverse of each petal is a blackcurrant-syrup color that makes the blooms very dramatic when viewed at an angle. It brought a lot of depth to the flower arrangements I used it in, and looked great with Amaranthus tricolor 'Red Army.'
