Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The deeply fringed petals of this big, spectacular dahlia give it an otherworldly air, which is fitting since its name means "Messenger from the Moon" (the title of an enormously popular Japanese novel). When we look at it, though, we see Fourth of July sparklers and big shaggy dogs. What will you - or your kids or grandkids - see?
