Post by: daisymay on September 19, 2005, 21:40:44: I am not sure what these are off the top of my head but I grew them from seed. Have the packet if I need to declare variety, but they were a freebie so prob some sort of mix

Post by: Mrs Ava on September 19, 2005, 22:39:28: ooo Daisy, love the one with the butterfly. Did you stick it there, or sit all day waiting, or was it pure luck! Wonderful photos of the Dahlias!
Title: Re: Dahlia
Post by: daisymay on September 20, 2005, 09:08:02: pure luck actually. Think it was drunk on the pollen as I went into the house to get my camera and came back expecting it to be long gone but it was still there

Post by: growmore on September 23, 2005, 22:41:00: From tubers I thought I had dug up.
These must have been the bits I missed...
Title: Re: Dahlia
Post by: Mrs Ava on September 23, 2005, 22:46:54: Thought I didn't like Dahlias until I grew a few this year and fell in love with them. Now looking at all of your pictures, I think I shall be dedicating a large patch of the plot to the growing of Dahlias! Please fill free to post me all of your unwanted dahlia tubers! ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Dahlia
Post by: Jessie on September 24, 2005, 11:32:34: EJ, I was exactly the same, didn't like them, nowgrowing dahlias first time this year and I love them, you won't be getting any tubers from me, sorry! ;D ;D
