I love dahlias


Hello peeps, as promised here is a totally self indulgent, over the top colour feast, in the form of the wonderful dahlia!  I hope these pictures warm and cheer all of you how are going through a cold and bleak winter, summer is on it's way!

I think dahlias would have to be in my top five favourite flowers, they are just so flamboyant and in your face, with such beautiful colours, I find myself planting a few more every year just to see what other colours I can find.

Anyway, heres to sharing the dahlia love......










Have a wonderful sunshiny day!

  5. They are lovely! I never seem to have much luck with dahlias, so haven't bothered with them for a while now. Maybe I should give them another go this year...?

  16. Me too! My dad used to grow wonderful ones on the farm where l grew up. I have had a go at growing them, but because of the cold we have to dig them up in the autumn and store indoors...well l suppose l'm lazy but l found it a bit of a bother. Mine were also very badly eaten by earwigs...how do you prevent that? Yours are gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing, Pam :-)
