I enjoyed your story of the carpet bits for a squirrel nest ,Lady gardener . Carrying fibre in their cheeks ? ?Really ??
A similar thing with some little finches building a nest here - -- After I had clipped my West Highlander , the birds removed the white hair and lined their nests with it .Very cosy.
I love white dahlias ,Seandor ,and mine are at their peak here in mid -Summer ..Another white variety - a fimbriated dahlia for you -what a thoughtful husband .Lots of compost in dahlia beds does wonders. I also have a 'recipe' for dahlia feeding from a NZ dahlia expert ,but am not sure what forum to put it in.
