I posted the first photo a few days ago as a NOID. I had listed it on my chart as Wyn's Bewitched. I didn't believe it was since every picture of WB I've seen showed a big red bloom. I checked a Wynne's Dahlias website to look at it again. Under the photo of the red bloom was a caption that said, "A really dark rich purple. The digital cameras can't get the color even close." Aha! ... so my camera isn't the only one not getting certain colors right. The second photo was made in sunlight and is the same "red" I see in all the photos. I think this closes the case and it really is WB. Many photos you see in catalogs don't show the true colors. Many are greatly enhanced. I like to look at several photos to get a better idea of what I'm getting. In this case it probably wouldn't have mattered because every photo I saw showed a red bloom.
