Dahlia

On their way back again 😍👍🏼

Jack Frost missed this one 💕👍🏼😍

Very exotic cultivar!!

Beautiful!

Frost got most of them now 😥

Most of mine are the same 😢

Mine have been gone for a week now🙁

Aww what a shame, but it has to happen 😞😞

Do you dig them up or leave and mulch?

@bluefox23 Hi Alison I just leave them where they are - I’m afraid they get no TLC 🙄

#mondaymotivation first proper frost last night 28/29 Oct surprised to see dahlias still perky 😍 #monthlysnapshot-grandmagizzy

Lovely load of colours🤙🏻

Fabulous!

Unbelievable 👏👏

Same with mine, completely untouched by the frost 🤷🏼‍♂️😄

So beautiful!

Love these 💕🌸

These are really lovely. Such nice full flower heads😍

Yellow one losing it’s red stripes and red & white one losing white tips. Not whole plants just part ..... weird 😱

Anything to do with the rainy weather?

@kathy no idea - I’ve had a striped rose revert to a plain colour in the past but a first for dahlias both a few years old and left in the ground every winter 😳

So unusual - wonder what's causing that. They're still pretty anyways😍

@gjones I looked it up and often happens it seems various reasons given. 🙄

Wow there beautiful 😍😍

#dahlia #collage #monthlysnapshot-grandmagizzy 18/08/18 #colourpop

I do like dahlias. So glad I got my clearance one yesterday. Shame they are so temperamental in winter though!

Hi Alison @bluefox I leave mine where they are during the winter and have been lucky most reappear - most are about 5 years old prob lose about one each winter but very cheap at our garden centre so buy a couple of new ones each year.

Fabulous.....👌🏼

Beautiful! Your dahlias are flowering so nicely.

Such beautiful dahlias 😍👌

This is quite a big flower but a bit of a shortie 😊

#dahlia #bestofaugust

It is gorgeous Christine, @grandmagizzy

#augustblooms

@shaz831 Hi Shaz I think this is called ‘Cambridge’

This plant has always been in my wishlist...!! Hope I'll get it soon. Thanks Christine for the info. Happy gardening...!!☺

I really like this one😍😍

Weird one #augustblooms #mutant #mutation

Split personality - both lovely

I love these odd coloured flowers .....😘👌🏼

How unusual! Haven't seen this happen before🤔

@gjones - Katy it’s the only one like it on the plant rest of blooms ok - 3rd year I’ve had it and not happened before 😳 💛❤️

Weird but beautiful. If its a hybrid these do this randomly.

Which colour are the other buds, yellow or flecked with red?

Gorgeous if odd🤙🏻

@gjones other buds on plant seem flecked Two more buds on same stalk as weird one too tight to tell yet 🙄💛❤️

😍 I love unique colorations like this, so pretty

😮

I love this one @grandmagizzy which variety of Dahlia is it please? I would love this in my garden 😊😊ps very sweet pooch you have!!❤❤

@midnightgardener hi Christine it was one of a pack of three - a cheap purchase a few years ago didn’t specify the variety - sorry 😳. 🐶Gizzy says thanks she is an old lady now almost 15 💕

@grandmagizzy That's wonderful she's doing so well. Bless you sweet Gizzy girl. I love her name too it's cute and unusual 💕💕

@midnightgardener Gizzy was a year old when we got her and had been named Gizmo - it sounded a bit boyish so she became Gizzy - some times Giz which can get confusing as one of my daughters is Liz 🙄🤣

@grandmagizzy 😊😊I think Gizzy is a fitting name for a sweet old lady dog. My dog gets Millie or Mills. First dog too, she's a birl girl now and so happy! She loves people and her 3 cat family. She's good with other dogs too but sjre

@grandmagizzy My finger slipped 😕but Mills is very much a peoples dog 😊😊

#dahliaday 9/10/17

How many Dahlia plants have you got? 🤔

Hi @kathy I'm not sure how many - the pics today are of all the plants in flower today, about another four or five I think. I leave them in the ground over the winter and assume I'll lose one or two so buy a few extras just in case so they tend to accumulate ! The flower bed is a bit overcrowded - but I like it 😍

I like crowded beds😊

Very large bloom 😍

Gorgeous 😍💕😍💕😍

Beautiful 💕💕💕

So pretty

Did you paint the pink stripes on....😂👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Pretty one 🌿💕

Wow! Mine are not even open yet!

Super collection you have 👌👌

Great assortment- all beautiful! Really like the dahlia at bottom- pink/ white!

@lexijane According to my rather vague planting plan 😂 the dahlia you like was from the assorted speckled pack ... but it looks very like the Cambridge which I put in later by the garage - it's not flowering yet but looking good so will compare when it does 👍🏼

Aww thank you Christine 😊

#dahliaday #julyblooms CACTUS PURPLE/WHITE

#dahliaday #julyblooms CAMBRIDGE

Love this one. Do you know it's name please?

@lexijane Hi Lexi it's a new one I put in this year some were in assorted packs of 3 (cheap so I'm delighted with results - new cut price garden Centre) others single packs with names. I've kept the card from the packs and have written on them approx where I planted them 😄 - will have a look later and see if I can ID for you 👍🏼

Bless you. That'd be great. Only when you get a spare minute. Thank you 😊

@lexijane think this is most likely CAMBRIDGE which is darker than this pic or could be AVIGNON was mixed pack of speckled ones - have an AVIGNON should be paler than Cambridge but not out yet as in late...

Thank you Christine 😊

New one today #dahliaday DUET #julyblooms #bestofjuly

😢 bye bye until next year- frost has finished them off

Always feel sad when this happens but the plants need a rest too!

They have certainly earned a rest @gjones been lovely for ages
