Very dainty 😍

#sieveheadsarah one of the last blooms on this one I think first one made 9” diameter

It’s done well to last so late into the year, time for a rest now Christine 😀

#dahlia

Wonderful colour @grandmagizzy 🧡🧡🧡

First one

First half a dozen back from previous years - I leave them in and hope for the best ….🤞🏼

Good to see Christine. I can’t be bothered to dig up and replant, so this year I will be leaving my dahlia in the ground overwinter. It’s in a fairly sheltered spot, so hoping to replicate your success…I’m all for easy gardening! 😉🤞

#bessie #dahlia #bee Bessie trying to catch the bees 🙄🐕🐾🐝

Hope she didn't get a sting on her nose 💕💕🐝🐝

@midnightgardener she was ok Chris but very keen insect hunter!!

@gjones that dahlia just gets bigger and bigger - always one bit of yellow and red amongst the pink and red - weird. I leave it in the ground over winter been lucky so far 😍

Fabulous picture

Lovely!💗💗💗

1st two back and in flower👍🏼

So beautiful Christine @grandmagizzy 😃💕

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!

#pink dahlia and hydrangea

#pink

Love these 💕🌸

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 😳

@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.....👌🏼

Such beautiful dahlias 😍👌

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

#dahlia #bestofaugust

It is gorgeous Christine, @grandmagizzy

Gorgeous😍😍

#dahlia #augustblooms #collage #bestofaugust

All fabulous...

Wow! Stunning collection 👌🏼

#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...!!☺

Weird one #augustblooms #mutant #mutation

Split personality - both lovely

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

@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 😳 💛❤️

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

😮

#augustblooms

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 😊😊
