Dahlia with red stripes
There might be a special name for this kind of marking on flower petals, but I don’t know it. If you do, please clue me in. [later: Striated! Thank you!] They aren’t really stripes; more of spots and stripes mixed together. Anyway, I just love the way it looks. I took this in Seattle’s Volunteer Park dahlia garden that I just discovered this week, maintained by the Puget Sound Dahlia Association. Enjoy!

Whatever the type of dahlia, your photo of it is gorgeous!
Oh what lovely color of a dahlia. I got dahlias in my front porch too but their color is bright orange with white tips. Thanks for the post.
Happy Ruby Tuesday!
