These have been delightful this year -I split last year's rather large clump of tubers into three and planted them in a trough planter . - they have grown and flowered beyond expectation !
They make a really beautiful display. Very lovely shot and image. I think you either have green hands or you are lucky. Dahlia tubers nowadays don't last for longer than one season let alone letting you divide them.
A wonderful display Beryl you must be very pleased to have produced so many beautiful flowers from the original plant. I have a chocolate scented dahlia this year and I am guarding it with my life but no flowers yet. Fav.
What a gorgeous splash of colour Beryl, I do think the flowers are living this sun as long as we can water them. Hose pipe ban looming up here in the north west, I'm surprised we've lasted so long.
