A Plant Fanatic in Hawaii is hosting a MEME ‘The Hot, the Loud, and the Proud ' to showcase some of your tropical, exotics n hot Mediterranean colors…. Or some wild combinations, amazing discoveries with unusual variations. Or you could also share something exciting you just saw, a crazy garden, amazing garden art or design, an inspiring visit or hike? The MEME is open to all, who wish to participate and will be on the last day of each month…
So Friends, Come one, Come All… Mark Your 'Month End' Calendar n Join the MEME Fun!
Btw, here’s a picture of a Dahlia from our spring garden this season, showcasing some unusual dual tone colour combination and stark variation between the two halves.
Personally, I loved the contrasting colours in RED N PINK and so thought I will share it, as my entry for this month end MARCH MEME. Hope Noel, from A Plant Fanatic in Hawaii
PS: Like Noel, I am marking my calendar for the Next month's MEME, how about you???????

What an amazing Dahlia - the two tone effect is lovely!
Oh, I really LOVE LOVE it! Never seen anything like that. I like bi-color of any bloom, and the one like this just takes my breath away. So beautiful! Great choice for the meme. Looking forward to your next one already
Oh, BTW, I joined this MEME as well. Welcome to visit at http://sefloridagardenevolvement.blogspot.com/.
Radhika - its a pleasure to meet you. I love participating in memes as I can find new blogs that interest me and I like your bonsai photos very very much. I don't think we have even met over on Blotanical.
Your dahlia is lovely - over here folk are just about thinking of planting the tubers and dreaming of getting some good weather.
You have a lovely background for your blog too. You are ever so welcome to visit my scottish blog anytime. Rosie :)
aloha and wow!
i've never seen a two toned dahlia like that before the the contrasts is quite shocking...i'm just amazed-it is a show stopper...wow!
thank you kindly for sharing and participating, i'm really enjoying this :)
That is an amazing dahlia! And wonderful photography! It looks 3-D, and makes me want to touch it. I haven't had a lot of luck with dahlias in my Florida garden.
Very pretty photo ... i love the red and pink together! You have a nice blog.
How striking that is! I never imagined a half-&-half dahlia. Your pictures are gorgeous. :)
aloha radhika,
what a beautiful combo bloom, i've never seen this on a dahlia before, its spectacular with pink and dark red contrasting colors. thank you for sharing this with us today and taking part of the meme...wasn't it fun?
I am very partial to Dahlias. This one is very special a wonderful colour.
Aloha Noel,
Sure its been a lot of fun, participating in the Meme. This Dahlia was unlike the usual ones...which have subtle shading on tips n show blending of colours etc.
Btw, I specially liked your post on Jade vine. The cyan colour combo is inspiring. Looking fwd to visiting the other participants shortly. Thx n CheerS! Radhika
Thx a ton Friends...
@ Gippslandgardener - Glad you found them Lovely.
@ Ami – Looking fwd to your post / Meme as well. Will be stopping by your blog shortly.
@ leavesnbloom – Same here, it’s a pleasure to meet you too. You are rt, we have not crossed path as yet. Will visit your Scottish blog / plot on Blotanical soon Rosie. Thx for the compliment… Winter and spring is bloom time for us here, while summers would be bereft of Flowers. We had an exceptionally good bloom for Dahlia’s this yr – huge in size and beautiful colours n shades.
@ Floridagirl… Why is that so? Don’t loose hope, you could experiment with them again.
@ Amy – Its a pleasure.
@ Meredith – I am glad you found the Dahlia Gorgeous!
@ Titiana - Same here... I too am partial to Dahlia's.
What a great meme~~Love the hot dahlia...I need to plant a few of these hot colors in my garden~ gail

EGT, your dahlia is spectacular!! WOW!!
What a stunning photo of a gorgeous dahlia! I really like the bicolor petals. Have a great weekend!

Hi,
Is there any possibility 'at all' to get that variety? Tuber or cutting. This is one beautiful combination ... very decent looking.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Tariq
Hi Taariq,
I agree its one decent combination. however, i am sorry, we don't have the tuber or cutting for the same. Glad you appreciated it.
Regards,
Radhika @ EGT
Great. Thanks for responding Radhika. Perhaps at a later date or perhaps someone else on the blog.
I had bought a red-white hybrid that showed almost pure red in one flower and red-white on the other. So, I searched for two colored flowers, and that is how I found your picture. Absolutely amazing! subhanAllaah.
Here is the plant I bought. I guess this does happen frequent enough.
Lovely Flowers Taariq. I did see your pictures. That shaded effect is quite readily available with the plant nurseries and each flower is quite distinct even if its growing from the same plant ... as can be seen in the pict and pointed by you. Once again Thx for stopping by my blog. We have planted some 60 odd Dahlia's this season as well and now I am waiting for them to start blooming. Letc...
