Another beautiful one. Would that be considered a spider dahlia? I am putting white and dark purple flowers in Gypsy's Moon Garden and that is a good late season bloomer.

Thanks, The fringed form is called "Laciniated" in this country and "Fimbriated"....in the U.K.. The first variety that I posted on here is also a Laciniated dahlia...."Myrtle's Folly". I have several varieties that are "fringed" like this.

Ah, thank you. I looked up and learned two new words today. Fringed border or with finger-like projections. Pretty much synonyms. I have a while fimbriated dahlia as well. Mine is a relatively short (not patio) grower, though.

This is a "Cactus" form Dahlia....notice the long, narrow petals......I have no idea what the variety is....it was a present from another Dahlia grower that didn't remember the name....what ever it is...I like it.

That's what I was thinking. Mine has many long petals, but they are more rounded than flat and fringe-y.
I'd love to see some photos of your Dahlias.....I do need to go back and see other Dahlia threads....it's been awhile since I've been on here.... Today is my day off from work....so maybe I'll have some more time to check things out that I've missed.
