Here Come the Dahlias!

Well the borders are starting. Yeah! It will be a while for the standard size for me this year though. This is 'Wittem'

What a beauty, Dalianut! I even bought a few of the small ones that are grown as annuals around here. I will post pictures when I have some nice blooms.

What a cutie! Mine are not blooming yet but Zingaro is budding. The other one got planted late and has just recently come up.

paj the small borders usually give a great all summer performance so are definitely a good thing in my books. roybird I'm soooooo looking forward to your Zingaro. I don't have that one YET so I'm looking forward to your pics.

Still buds but not blooms yet. I'll send pics when I get 'em. You'll be tired of my pictures!

No we won't. We never get tired of pictures.

That's what you say now. We'll see!

Yep, we will. I love photos, especially of flowers and plants. If you tire me out I will be very surprised.

Me too I luv pics. The more the better. My roses have started to bloom. I will post pics on the rose thread when the rain stops.

I will look for your posts on the rose thread! I am still soaking up info about roses.

O.K. I'll look on the rose thread. I haven't been there for awhile; looking forward to it!

Zingaro is budding, for sure. We have had so much cloudy weather that it is slowing things down.

oooooo that looks like its gonna be a gooder. My 'Bluesette' is 1/2 way open. Pic tomorrow I hope.

This is one of my favorite borders 'Suneshine' coming to you this year courtesy of Jo North (Grow_Jo) who brought hers over when I lost mine to DBCS sob.

'Suitzus Julie' a tiny border with 1" blooms.

Which thread did I post my Zingaro photos on? Guess it wasn't here. Dahlia, your dahlias are beautiful! They are my new favorite flowers! I have some newer photos of it, too, but haven't put them on computer yet. The most open bloom is now about 3 inches across. There are 8 buds on the plant, which is not quite 2 feet tall.

There is another thread 'Dahlias in the Rockies' which we are trying to stick to now. dummy me started this thread when I got too excited with the first bloom.

Aw shucks, we don't mind having two dalhia threads. It also makes sense when a thread gets really long to start a new one.
