Dahlia’s

August 22, 2012 · 10 comments

Mine are out and are so pretty, this year they are a mix of shop bought and home grown. So far I’ve been lucky and the slugs have left them alone *fingers crossed*. I just love all their jewel colours and the boost they give the garden once the roses have gone and how pretty they are cut in a jug.

They are in the markets and garden centers at the moment and should last through to the end of October, flowering throughout.  So if you fancy a bit of end of season colour stock up now, either pop them in a pot or in a boarder and they will look amazing.  My perfect flower!

Very pretty. My Dad used to love growing dahlias, brings back some nice memories.

Beautiful dahlias, such bright happy colours. I LOVE your new look and adore your tree – did you paint it?

WOW, just beautiful. My dad grows dahlia’s. I’d never remember to lift them, I’m a very lazy gardener ;)

These are gorgeous, beautiful colours. You were lucky, mine have been totally devoured by slugs this year.

That’s such a shame, we’re quite blessed with not a lot of slugs here – which is fortunate as I’m terrified of them.
