New blooms

My little dahlia's are just blooming their little heads off. I plant these late from seeds and thought they wouldn't bloom this season but to my surprise they are just going crazy.

Those are neat...and from seed no less? in one season? amazing isnt it?
yours are lovely!

Really unique colors. Very pretty!

Pretty!

Windsurffer: These are lovely! I accidentally started a dahlia this spring. I had some unidentified seeds from a friend, and it turned out to be dahlia. I was surprised at how large the tuber was when I dug it up this fall!

Thanks Pebble I ususally plant from seeds because I don't have the space for that many plants.

Tyke these are the dwarf ones they come in all different colors, I had one last summer that looked almost black. I am really glad that you like them.

Thanks GrannyL

Weez it is amazing how big the tubers are, and just to think how tiny the seeds are. I was just as shocked as your were when I dug mine up last fall.

Got to be very satisfying for you Wind..they are so pretty.
Patience brings rewards..now you will have the tubers for next year..

What's the best method for storing the tubers?

I haven't tried to store them but bring the plant in so I guess someone else here can answer that one for you.
