Dahlia 'Crazy Love'

Morning everyone. I think this beautiful dahlia is my #bestofoctober 🥰 #dahlia-crazylove

Beautiful 😍

Such a beauty

Thanks very much Chris and Jason 🥰 @vegandmore @hebelover

Wow that’s lovely 🤩👍🏻

Thanks very much Diane, it really is a stunning one 💝 @prunella

That's pretty

Gorgeous 😍

Thanks very much Charlotte and Diane 🥰 @charlotte @hkyfvr

Very welcome Jane 😄

Morning everyone. Several of my dahlias seemed to lose their vibrancy but the recent rain has given them a boost, especially #dahlia-crazylove 🌸

Morning Jane … aahhh 😍🩷😍🩷

Morning Julie, I couldn't agree more 🥰 @juliesgarden

Morning 💜🤍 Still fabulous

Evening Jason, isnt it just 🥰 @hebelover

#greatname #gorgeous

Thanks for the tags Kari 👌 @KariSamuel

Morning everyone. I haven’t had two much damage over the last couple of days, a few broken stems here and there but the wind has lifted this dahlia up from the roots. You can see the tuber. It would have to be my favourite 😢 #dahlia-crazylove p.s. my fault, I didn’t stake it 🥺

You should be able to save it, Jane 🤞

Thank you Barbara. I’ve staked it and tied it in now, it looks fine 🤞 @jacaranda

Hope it recovers well Jane 🤞🤞

Thanks Joan, it's looking ok so far 🤞 @joanboston

Three is not a crowd in this case 🌸 #dahlia-crazylove

Me too Joan 🌸 @joannie.a

It definitely is Laura 🌸 @columbiariver

Morning everyone. At long last my favourite dahlia has flowered, it’s been a long wait 🤍💜🤍 #dahlia-crazylove

Like all your dahlias, it is lovely

Worth the wait 🌸

Aww thanks Joan 🥰 @joannie.a

Definitely 👍 @debs69

That is very special 😍

I'm glad you like it Jason 💜 @hebelover

Love it 🤍💜

It’s just gorgeous 🥰 @juliesgarden

#bestof2021 #dahlia-crazylove. The tubers were mostly rotten after overwintering but I managed to keep a couple and was rewarded with some beautiful flowers 🤍💜🤍

So lovely one of my favs…..👌🏼

Love this dahlia Jane. Have a Happy New Year. May 2022 be a better year for everyone 💐🥂🥳

Thanks very much ladies, it's my favourite 😊 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @gjones @hkyfvr

Always welcome Jane. 😍

Beautiful 🥰

Stunning

Yes, it's gorgeous

Thanks so much Elise, Jason and Laura 🙏 @Auricula @hebelover @columbiariver

Gorgeous Jane 😍

Stunning.

So pretty 💜💜

Morning everyone, have a good day. I guess half a flower is better than none on this lovely dahlia 🌸 #dahlia-crazylove

Morning Jane.. definitely 🌸

Good morning Jane it certainly is🤗

Morning Julie (again) and Enid. There's only one more bud on this but I don't think it will open so I'm making the most of this one 🥰 @juliesgarden @godfreye

Morning Jane - specially bred for displays on console tables😂. Lovely colour way☺️

Morning Elise 😂😂😂. This has been my favourite this year 💗 @Auricula

Still beautiful Jane. 💗🤍💛💗

Hi @pelly 😀

Pretty

Thanks Jason 😍 @hebelover

Morning everyone. It looks like we’ve avoided the frost that was forecast so maybe this dahlia will get to open. Have a great day 🌸 #dahlia-crazylove

Great name!

It is isn’t it 👍 @bobbyball

Morning Jane.. same here 👍🏻… we’ll she’s try 💗😂😂

Morning Jane 🙋‍♂️ unfortunately we did get the frosts so I've either to dig them up and store or risk them in the ground 🤔

Morning Jane. Another frost here and time to take mine in now along with my few begonias. Have a good one 👋😊

Morning Julie, she certainly is 😍 @juliesgarden

Morning Jeremy. I leave mine in unless I need to move them 👍 @jpea

Morning Pauline, it's well and truly that time of the year now. Thanks and enjoy your day too 😍 @flof1952

She is trying so hard to beat the frost. We had our second killing frost last night. Everything looks soggy except the foxglove and the scabious. Have to lift my dahlias this weekend. Have a great weekend Jane 🥰

Thanks very much Diane and you too 🥰 @hkyfvr

@pelly hi Jane. Hope your well. Thank you.

Morning everyone 👋. A second flower has opened up on this beautiful dahlia and it has a bit more purple on it. Have a lovely day 💜 #dahlia-crazylove

Morning Jane. Very pretty .....love the darker purple 👋😯💜

Morning Jane 🙋 now you're being spoilt 😁

Morning Pauline, thanks and so do I 💜 @flof1952

Morning Jeremy, I am aren’t I 👋 @jpea

Morning Jane, that’s looking lovely - trying to make the best of the weather over the next couple of days😊

Morning Elise, thanks and me too although I've got to do my mum's garden this morning 👍 @Auricula

Good morning Jane that’s really beautiful love the colour 💜💜

Morning Jane ..definately worth the wait!!

Do you move stuff in your Mum’s garden too Jane? Grand weather for gardening and chatting to your mum 🥰

Morning Enid, I have to agree, it's stunning 💜 @godfreye

Morning Julie, oh yessss 💜 @juliesgarden

Morning everyone 🙋‍♀️. Sorry, (not really sorry) for posting this dahlia again but it is going from strength to strength and is so beautiful that I couldn’t resist. Have a lovely day 🤍💜🤍 #dahlia-crazylove

Evening Katy, thank you 🥰 @gjones

Morning Jane. Oh that's a beauty ...mine have been ravaged by the squirrels here unfortunately 👋😡🐿

Big and blousey, love it

Morning Pauline, thanks and I’m sorry to hear what’s happened to yours, how upsetting 😢 @flof1952

It’s certainly a show off Joan 😍 @joanboston

Very annoying Jane as they were all still flowering 😥

Morning Jane 🙋 don't be sorry it's a wonderful flower, mine are looking worse for wear thanks to the 💨 and ☔🌧

Morning Jane … oh moist away she’s beautiful 🤩 💗

Morning Jeremy, thank you, some of mine are a bit battered too 😥 @jpea

Morning Julie, thanks very much 🥰 @juliesgarden

Morning Jane….such a gorgeous dahlia definitely one of my favourites 💜🤍

Morning everyone, it took its time but it opened in time to be my #bestofseptember. Have a super Saturday 💜🤍💜 #dahlia-crazylove

Morning Jane worth the wait👌🏻

Beautiful Jane 💕

Morning Jane 🙋 you too

Stunning dahlia @pelly

That's lovely.

Morning Jane.. definitely worth the wait 💖

Thanks so much everyone. I’m actually quite surprised it’s come to anything as a lot of the tubers went mushy over last winter. I planted what was left in the hope that they would build up again 🤞 @Auricula @anges @jpea @lydiastirling @charlotte @juliesgarden

Good morning Jane beautiful 🤗

Morning Enid, thanks very much 👋 @godfreye

Morning Jane 💜🤍

Morning Elaine 🙋‍♀️ @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Morning everyone, have a lovely day. I’m sure this dahlia is opening one petal a day 🙄😂 #dahlia-crazylove

Bless 😂😂💕

More cursing than blessing Julie 😂 @juliesgarden

😂😂

Morning Jane, Dahlia equivalent of Toe in the Water😂

Morning Elise, I'm loving the analogy 😄 @Auricula

Well it is called crazy.

Good morning Jane the colours are lovely 🤗

Thanks Enid, it's such a lovely one 😍 @godfreye

Good point Joan 😂 @joannie.a

Shes making you wait 😄

It's not as if I'm impatient............honestly 😂 @hebelover

Morning everyone. I’m beginning to think the first frosts will arrive before this dahlia opens 🙄. Have a lovely day #dahlia-crazylove

Morning Jane 🌸😃 You too 😃

Morning Ange, thank you 🙏 @anges

Morning Jane - I have started the annual plant shuffle - awful thought about first frosts😱. Have you split #alstroemeria at this time of the year or is it best to wait until the spring?

Morning Jane 🙋 they tend to sneakily open

Morning Jane .. well at least you’ll have colour when we’ve all lost ours !!😂

Morning Jane, I’ve got loads of buds they’ve been so slow this year to flower 😴

Morning Elise, me too but I’ve still got quite a few to go. I’m having quite a big shuffle around this autumn. It’s best to wait until April or May for the alstroemeria 👍 @Auricula

Thanks Jane I thought it would be best to wait 😀

Morning Jeremy, well it needs to get a wiggle on 😂 @jpea

Hopefully 😂 @juliesgarden

Morning Elaine, haven’t they just 🙄 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

This beautiful dahlia has to be my #bestofoctober Stay safe if you are affected by the storm today #dahlia-crazylove 🙋‍♀️

Morning Jane. That's a beauty ....great photo. Take care 👋🙂

Morning Pauline, thanks, it was a new one this year and I’m delighted with it 🌸 @flof1952

Morning Jane 🙋‍♂️ mine have mostly finished but yours is a stunner

Good morning Jane flower still looking lovely🤗

Morning Jane, it's wild! Stay safe too 💞💞💞

Morning Jeremy, thank you. Most of mine are still flowering well but the flowers are much smaller now 😃 @jpea

Morning Enid, thank you, it's a beauty 🌸 @godfreye

Morning Ange, it's just starting to ramp up here 💨🍃 @anges

It looks perfect Jane 💕

Thats fabulous 💜🤍💜

Thanks Sue and Jason, it's exceeded all my expectations 💜 @lilybee @hebelover

Afternoon Jeremy, it really is isn't it 😍 @jpea

So beautiful....I’ve had to take mine up the last gales got hold of it and snapped it 😪 💜

Oh what a shame, bloody gales. I’m going to lift mine as it’s in the wrong place but I’ve got a better spot for it 💜 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

@jacaranda this is it. It's well worth going on your wish list 👍😘 #dahlia-crazylove

Thanks Jane. It’s a beauty and a definite addition to the wish list 😍🤣😘

I look forward to seeing it next year 👍 @jacaranda

Isn’t she just Katy 😍 @gjones

The new growth looks promising so far, Jane! I’m sure the tubers will bulk up and produce great flowers next year 🤞😘

Woo hoo! You got what you wanted, brilliant! 🌼🌼💕💕

I did Chris, thanks 💜 @midnightgardener

Morning everyone, have a good day. We’ve only got a slim chance of rain forecast for today so hopefully when it dries up a bit I’ll be able to get in the garden 😊 #dahlia-crazylove

Ooh ah. That’s a beautiful one. 🤩

Thanks Katy and Phil. It’s anew one for me this year 😍 @gjones @philstalder

That great. I’m kinda new to Dahlias so I like seeing new ones. 👍

There are far too many beautiful ones and I want them all Phil 🙄🤣🤣 @philstalder

Morning Jane 👋 we've a lot here but should brighten up this afternoon

Morning Jane, hope you have a good day in the garden.

Morning Jane 👋🙂💗

The forecast has changed for the worse since I posted earlier, I hope it's wrong!! 😬 @jpea

Morning Joan, thank you and you too 😊 @joannie.a

Morning Ange 👋 @anges

Good morning Jane pretty colours on your flower bit dryer this morning rained most of the night 🤗

Tea break, or is it bee break. He’s having a little nap on one of my new dahlias 🐝 #wildlifewednesday #bee #dahlia-crazylove

Crazy love is right as I just fell head over heels for this one! WoooEeeee!!! 🥰👌🏻

He just fell crazy in love and couldn't leave! 🐝 great photo!💘😍

It's a beauty isn't it Jackie and Shelley. I love the purple edges on the petals 💜🐝 @jmlincoln @ShelleySnyder

It is Jane!💘😍

It’s one of my favourite Dahlias....😍

How cute 🐝💛 This bee really knows how to choose a napping place 😁

Amazing, Pelly! Reminds me of the eyeliner lily

It's fast becoming mine Elaine 💜 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Yes, that's gorgeous too 💜 @jmlincoln

He's got a nice little cushion Rula 🐝 @sabbanrula

Who could resist a little nap on a bed of those beautiful petels 😉

Whoops, no more dahlias I said!! #dahlia #dahliacrazylove 💜🤍💜

They do have some lovely and cheap dahlia tubers in though. I’m the same I have enough dahlias but I have seen some that I really like there...

They do Deborah, there were several others I wanted but I was very good 🙄😂 @DeborahBanks

Jane I admire your restraint, I’m not sure I will be able to confine it to one 😁

I need a bigger garden Deborah @DeborahBanks 😂😂😂

Naughty naughty Elise, and I love your excuse 🙄😂😂 @auricula

But who could resist this Jane ?💜

Obviously not me 🙄😂🙄 @jendren

Pretty!

Thanks Leslie @lesliecole49 😍👍

Having just seen a photo of this one on @valjones-hughes Instagram page I wondered how yours was getting on, Jane. Has it flowered yet? I’m thinking of adding it to my wish list 🤔😘

It has Barbara and it's beautiful. I'll post a pic 👍 @jacaranda
