1] Back to dahlias. There are so many choices. This one is from Shelburne Falls. I’ve got a few plants with lots of buds but they are stubbornly making me wait for the show.
2] Here we go! One of the dahlias graced me with its presence on this somewhat chilly rainy day. I will dig up the tuber after frost and also harvest the seed. It will be interesting to see the variation from the seed.
3] The first pink dahlia is from seed.
4] The second is from a tuber. I’ll definitely dig up both of them after frost. My only complaint is that these ladies take forever to open. This may be due to the colder nighttime temperatures and possibly the extra shade they’re getting due to time of year.
