I was just out inspecting my zinnia beds, noticing all the brown and feeling sad. But we’ve been so lucky to have a long extended time of warm, at least I HAVE zinnias still. This dahlia is beautiful. I used to grow those too, but by the time they grew and bloomed we were almost to frost and it seemed like a lot of work for the short bloom season. But they are soooooo beautiful maybe I should try again next year. If we had another fall like this one we’d get to enjoy them a lot longer!
Exquisite detail! I’m sure it is nice to be able to see beautiful color late into the season. Did you notice last year about how late they hang around?

I really like the dahlia… I just go somewhere that has them for me to see. The only plant I was able to grow when I had a house was the hosta… 🙂

Thanks. If I did notice, I don’t remember… 🙂
