Look at Pooh!!!

I'm in love - isn't he adorable? LOL. It took three blooms for it to actually get the right number of petals, but looks like we're on track now.
(Yes, dahlianut, the tubers will be yours.... Ü)


Joanne

o wow - what a beautiful dahlia!
No wonder dahlianut is such a nut about 'em! (just like I am, about Daturas - wish I could change my name to DaturaNut lol) I already changed my name once, so can't do it again.

Dahlianut gave me a whole bunch of Dahlias, and they're all doing beautifully. I have a deep, deep burgundy one that's about to open and I can hardly wait. I love burgundy........ :-))

Love the red n' yellow! Quite a beauty!

Lovely specimen Grow Jo of the North! I loved Pooh when I had it- vibrant and cheerful. Enjoy it!

So pretty, cheerful is the perfect word for this one. How does that smart little flower know to get little tips of yellow on each petal just so? I said this on another thread, but the science of dahlia-ism is just amazing to me! It must make you smile just to see it-congrats!

Luvly, luvly Pooh Jo North!!! YIPPEE for a tuber (kiss,kiss)

Dahlianut - did I ever send you pics of how the dahlias you gave me are doing?
They are beautiful!!!

You are ahead of me JoAnne. My first year for Pooh , lots of buds but no faces.

Pooh's ahead of all the other standard size dahlias in my garden. Not sure why, I started them all inside around the same time.

Post your pics here TallulahB!!!!

I will! They're beautiful - my DH can't decide whether he likes the yellow one that started to bloom 1st, or the burgundy one that has filled out more & more each day and opened last week......
I can't tell you what the names are, cuz I'm @ work, but it's the one that was bent by the greenhouse shelf. It's hugely tall!
They're together in one large pot, on my deck, and look stunning!!!!!

Ok, here's posting, Dahlianut!
Here's my DH's fav - D'Ete Nuit (gotta admit - it's mine too)
This is the 1st bloom, and there are 2 others that are coming.

This one's Bishop of York
It was the first Dahlia to bloom, and it's been non-stop ever since - such a cheery flower :-)

I forget what this one's called, but it's a tiny border plant, in my semi-shade berm.

D'Ete Nuit is a taaaaaaaaaall plant meant for the back of a garden, but I have it in a large pot. as long as I keep watering it every day, it's doing well.
In fact, all the dahlias need a lot of watering!

Those are pretty Tallulah. I see why you both love D'Ete Nuit-it is gorgeous! I've never heard of it, but I must have it!

Thank you :-)
Dahlianut grew it in her greenhouse, and gave the plant to me when it was "only" 1 1/2 ft high - now it's 4 ft high!

Nice growing Tallulah. I like the faint red center on Bishop of York. So dainty!

They are looking very happy and prettiful Tallulah!!! I luv Bishop of York for it's subtle red stripe on the edge of some of the blooms. We must try to get a good pic of a bloom with the strip and put it in PFs Tallulah. Quee the D'ete Nuit is actually called Nuit D'ete. Sorry Tallulah for my bad habit of constantly mislabelling it (blush).

hahaha s'ok, Dahlianut! You're my soul sister for all that, after all lol

Put it in PF's - you're right - it is very pretty with the red strip. I have loads of pictures of this very pretty flower.
I'll have to do that tonight, after I get home from work!

Well, you done dood it, Dahlianut!
I'm hooked on dahlias, too!!

We warmly welcome all to Dahliaholics Anonymous ^_^

hahahaha Thank 'e, m'lady!!

I purchased an orange and purple DP dahlia..but the orange one has done nothing.. waaaa... Its been in the ground(tubers) for a month, do you think it is dead? Should I just leave it alone for now and see what happens in the spring... The purple one is doing great... Thanks for info Trish
