Dahlias

Dahlias are in vogue again. Deservedly so as I think as they have so much to give for relatively little effort.

This year the dahlias have been flowering since end of June and will continue to do so until first frost, probably some time in October.

Here's an old variety Arabian Night. I bought tubers probably 5 years ago and have steadily increased my stock. For the first time this year I have noticed that some of the petals are pure white.

When given LTC including regular watering, this dahlia will grow to 5 foot hence the tall bamboo stakes.
