    My grandfather grew Dahlias as big as dinner plates..he was in the Dahlia Society..and entered competitions frequently.

    When I saw one that was named “Otto’s Pride” I had to have it. It is a beautiful shade of pink and looks very much like the ones in your photos!

    Beautiful Dahlia Photographs!
