Crimson King

There is something very sexy about Dahlias which have near black petals at their heart. In the garden they are all looking fantastic at the moment but be on the lookout for snails which tend to hide under the lush foliage and sneak out to have a feast when you are not around.
Cue music:The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams. I like the version played by King Crimson
