My most successful dahlia that's survived the drought

Despite the lack of rain, I have religiously watered my dahlias that were newly planted this year. If I had known there was going to be a drought, I probably wouldn't have planted them but I am pleased with this beauty.

I got my macro lens out to take this one. I'm not very good with it and think that the photos aren't always sharp. I need to watch a tutorial as I'm not sure about the settings on the lens. I'll learn!

Beautiful colour and, despite the drought, I am sure you are glad you have taken the trouble with this as it must be marvellous to have some bright colour in your garden when everyone elses are wilting!
