Name that dahlia...


I have a couple of dahlias that have become perennial plants in my garden.

One is a vivid mauve cactus dahlia but what its name is escapes me. The second is a really unusual pompom variety, because it comes out red and white in mixed proportions. In fact, some flowers are entirely red and some entirely white, while yet others are both colours in varying degrees.

Does anyone know what these varieties might be?

  1. The top one is, I think Hillcrest Royal (or similar).
    The bottom one is Dahlia Oh Dear WSomeone Dropped Raspberry Ripple On The Pavement.
    Maybe.
