fall dahlias


I tried out some dahlia bulbs this summer and they didn't bloom all that much this summer, it was either too hot or dry or windy or who knows.... but finally this fall as it cooled and rained and rained, the start creeping up and putting out buds. they are very straggly and need a lot of staking. As you can see, in this bed they went all over the yucca plant which I kinda like the way it supports the stems. I may try to do it again next summer so that there is something blooming in the fall once everything else is finished.

non available seedlings I like!

this is a double I found on a Texas hybridizers website, I emailed and asked about it, and they are observing and considering an introduction. oh boy.

another seedling from Texas, I noticed this one right away on their online gallery.

this one has a very tropical orchidy look, I also like the lack of ruffles. it's a good change.
