Dahlias I have spied this summer in friends’ gardens, botanic gardens and municipal plantings – Otaki, Paekakariki, Palmerston North….
LET THE EYE-ORGY BEGIN:
I was quite chuffed to snap a bee AND a butterfly together….
This one – you will just have to believe me because there is nothing to indicate scale – was the summer-winner for gobsmackingly beautiful – in real life it GLOWED and it was as big as a dinner plate, no lies. (That’s why it’s almost on the ground – the plant could not support it’s heft.)

These are SO beautiful and make me love dahlias more. I’ve grown about four now – hardly the masses I was hoping for but I’m thinking of this project in the long-term.

Good idea, and I think from what I’ve read that the tubers get stronger and better and multiply with each passing year so next year’s will be much better! 🙂
