Bruce's Dahlia

We had friends round for a barbecue on Saturday evening and I was gifted this lovely dahlia which Bruce had grown from seed. What a lovely gift and such a beautiful vibrant colour!

It's gorgeous, I was not aware that one can grow them from seed. My dad always had tubers ;-)

great DOF on your lovely dahlia

[Pat Knowles]

A nice simple clean cut dahlia…plants given to us by friends are always so much more important than the ones bought in garden centres! Hope your lovely dahlia thrives & multiplies!

Lovely red petals and oh so yellow center.

@ludwigsdiana I never knew either, Diana. In fact, after your comment I had to google it to check I'd understood properly. Indeed you can grow them from seed. :-)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

So pretty- that color leaps off the page.

[Sarah Bremner]

That's beautiful.
Plants and flowers from friends and family are lovely reminders of special times. Just catching up.....
