درنية داليا 'Rokewood Dawn'

The color change from bright yellow to soft apricot as the blooms age has been such a pleasant surprise, and the strong stems mean I don't have to worry about them flopping over. Already have four flowers open on just one tuber.

Planted these in a sunny spot and the strong stems have held up beautifully even after a couple of rain showers. The blooms are already showing that lovely apricot blush on the outer petals.

The color shift from yellow to apricot is even prettier in person than the pictures suggested, and the stems held up perfectly through a windy afternoon. I'm already thinking about where to add more next season.
