Flaming Dahlias

I had never seen this variety of dahlia before this summer.

Large blooms with flaming petals. Pretty amazing.

I put this bouquet together for friends of ours. I like to wrap bouquets in different types of fabrics like muslin or burlap. For this bouquet I used a natural canvas. It supported those giant dahlia stems very well.

    I believe they are from a smokebush. OR a Tropical smokebush, which is a euphorbia cotinifolia.
