One Hit Wonder
Tsuki Yorine Shisha (British transliteration), or
Tsuki-Yori-No-Shisha (American transliteration).
I've been told the name means, "Messenger of the Moon."
Crazy sturdy lanceolated flowers, perfect for the SFV's variable weather.
Information from Dahlia.org:
1996 ADS Classification - 281;
White; Approx. flower size 6-8" (B);
Originated by Kumagai in Japan, introduced in 1953.
I can't find any information on Kumagai, however. Did s/he develop other varieties?
Dahlia sites provide an abundance of info about conformation, horticulture, pest-control ...
but little about the people who love and work with dahlias.
