Dahlia Surprise

I bought these Dahlias in a sale all mixed no names very pleased as the first ones are starting to bloom

 

Lovely

my love of dahlias are definately growing this year - would love to pick them up in any sales!

 

Hi Nathan. I nice example of what is to my mind a wonderful range of flowers. What I don't quite understand is....why some of the 'gardening snobs' chose to 'poo poo' these great flowers
I don't have a lot of room, so I can only grow 8 plants and have to be choosy, but it means I ALWAYS have a supply of cut flowers, superb :thumb:
Cheers...freddy.

 

There Gorgeous Nathan, I am a newby to Daliah's, I used to think they were for Old men and Earwigs but I love them now, The Cactus Daliah's are my favourite but there all Beautifull...Im Planning on using them in my front garden next year..

 

Hy youngdaisydee I have some more starting to come out now I will put pics for you to look and if you would like a tuber of any of them let me know
Freddy I agree we have a lot of cut flowers from my dahlias and I love them in the house as well as the garden why somr people dislike them I dont know :thnb:

 

I'm no expert on how a Dahlia should present itself, but yours is looking marvellous.

 

Some more of my Dahlias

 

Wow, they look absolutely stunning! You've inspired me to grow some next year.

What time of the year did you buy/plant them?

 

So pretty.

 

I've always liked dahlias, they are so reliable, even from seed.

You have some good ones there Nathan

 

Hi FS. You should be able to buy some from any Garden Centre around March time. Start them up by potting them up, and plant out around mid May or so. Of course, there are companies that specialise in them, so you could start browsing now, and get your order in, in the new year.
Cheers...freddy.

 

Thanks Freddy, I can't wait to grow some they're beautiful!
