Pretty! How big it is? I only ask because my uncle grew something similar looking in his yard, and they had huge blooms. Kinda like that massive dandelion in one of your pictures.
Yes! I think they call those "Dinner Plate Dahlias". At least I think I saw that somewhere. My sister, Lisa, in Washington sent pictures of some in a public garden there recently. Mine are not the mutant variety...this one is about the size of my palm :)
I just looked back at my pictures I took of his flowers, and I think they are the same thing. He lives in Washington state as well, so maybe they just like the cool, rainy weather and get really really huge.
Beautiful!

LOVE these! I tried growing one a couple years back, but I killed it somehow. Not much of a surprise, there. :)
