Looking for a particular dahlia

Sadly I lost the picture, but here goes: It was a pom pom Dahlia with the smallest heads you've ever seen, like not even as big as your little finger. I know it comes in a red, and grows possibly 90cm?

Would be grateful if someone knows this type!

    Take a look at this vendor's site:

    Those sites didn't seem to have any of the miniature ones. I found the white (white treasure) and yellow names. But they seem very obscure.

    Is it any any of these?

    I would imagine that if you can't find it on Google Images, it would be very hard to track down.

    There is a National Collection of Dahlias at Longrock, Penzance in Cornwall ... if you google you'll get their website and phone number. I should think they're your best bet ... good luck  :)

    RubyLeaf...please can you tell us if this Dahlia was one you actually grew or was it maybe one you saw in a picture?

    You say it wasn't even  the size of your little finger.
    Is this the width or length of your little finger.
    Was the flower 1 cm across or 6cm?

    Guess there aren't dahlias that small, couldn't it be a red Craspedia?

    I saw it at a National Trust place. I'd say the flower couldn't of been more than 3 and a half cm across

    Maybe email the National Trust place and describe it to them.
