clair matin
Kassia - how has Night Owl performed for you? Disease resistance?
And how old is the plant? (grafted vs own-root)
I missed the boat on ordering it early spring.
Oh well - there's still more time left in life. LOL- I'll make up for it by ordering 3!
the biggest dahlia I have.... I think it should be way darker than that!!!
Katye, so far they are doing great.... I have 4... 2 grafted (local nursery) and 2 own roots (Roses Unlimited and Northland rosarium) the 1st pic is own roots.... the 2 is one of the graphed one... they are all with a lillte bit of black spot... but they are vigorous planst... and I planted them 5 months ago....
I have Clair Matin - but it has not bloomed much due to a lack of summer sun & heat.
I don't think the past couple months actually qualified as "Summer".
I planted Clair last October (own-root). she is now 4' tall & just took off. i guess that is the upside to fewer flowers: looks like all the energy went to canes.
I also planted Darlow's Enigma - white & some fragrance, going gangbusters.
Champagne Cocktail & Julia Child just arrived last week, so it's time to order more!
nice!
I'd really like a hedge of them - love that colour.
Such a conflict between Roses & Clematis; you know - who gets trellis space?
So I plant them together and let them figure it out while I concentrate on next year's Dahlia beds...
Of course the Lilies will be up in arms...what to do, what to do?
Kassia, your yard is beautiful! All your hard work has paid off so sit back and enjoy for awhile!!
All your purple dahlias are magnificent!
What a great job you have done! You should be very happy with your results. Everything looks so happy and healthy. Congrates on your achievement. :) Oh and thanks for letting us have a look see too.
well, the beauty of pictures is that I choose the nice spots to show!!!! but like I tell my family my garden is like my life.... good nice spots and not so good ones!!! but I am happy with the results... I learned a lot and I almost feel restless and I an dying for next Spring so I can plant more dahlias and fix all the stupid things I did... I need to put on some new lawn really bad!!!!
thanks for all the support!!!!
Looks great Kass! Your effort has been well rewarded.
I am speechless - what beautiful flowers!!!
