Yes, with that center, they do look like semidouble Dahlias, don't they? It would be an odd choice, as they'd kind of smell "green" (as opposed to "sweet"). Not an offensive smell, but not a very attractive one either. On the one flower I'm seeing fairly well, and guessing, it looks like the color shades to ?--knowing Dahlias, probably something like yellow--around the center, the outer edges likely being something like orange-red. And that concludes our Dahlia news for today.
