New Dahlia?

Looked out of the window and saw this amazing flower and thought it was a new hybrid - but in fact it was just two dahlias (Honka and Firepot i think?) who, from just that angle, centred on the same place and had colours that toned beautifully - not the cleanest shot as its an upstairs window, the light is poor and if i get too close or shorten the focal length too much then one or the other slips out of focus ruining the effect. And there's a breeze so each time i focus, they start to bob about out of synch as they are actually about 8 inches apart - have to go with it as it might not be there tomorrow!
