Brown Owl - BO

I don't have a lot of dinnerplates.  I don't really love the wavy petal form (like Labrynth).  But Brown Owl makes me laugh.  It is just so exhuberant.  And with a dusty bronze/golden yellow color that is unmatched by any other dahlia, I use it in arrangements a lot more than I ever imagined.  8-10 inch blooms on a 5 foot plant.
