Waterlily DahliasSo named because the florets form a cup like a water lily flower. Specific judging standards for the type appear below. See Judging Guidelines for additional standards that apply to all types. Bloom size must be under 160mm. |
Judging StandardBloom should be fully double. Side view should be saucer shaped and face view should be circular in outline and regular in arrangement. The centre should be closed and dome shaped, breaking gradually to developed outer florets. The layers of florets should be openly spaced, with four to seven rows, to give a delicate and light appearance. Outer florets should be broad and slightly cupped with rounded tips | Pam Howden |
