Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff'

#hoverflies are so good at keeping still for #wildlifewednesday

Thank you 😊 @gjones

It has taken this #dahlia a l o n g time to get going but it is making up for it now ❤️ #dahlia-bishop-of-llandaff

And doesn't it look fabulous against the hydrangea ❤🤍❤. I've still got one dahlia that's yet to flower, it's been a strange season 🤔

Several of my dahlias have not bloomed yet

Thanks Jane and yes it has been a strange season. We had one of the hottest day’s of the summer last week yet at the beginning of August I almost lit the fire 🙄 @pelly @lesliecole49

1 Sep 2019 • The Bishop has taken its time this year, but well worth waiting for ❤️

I think a lot of us have had a long wait for the dahlias this year. I have one still not flowering Jacqueline ❤️❤️

I do too Jane and it’s September! Odd as it’s been sunny and warm 🤔 @pelly

Let’s hope the frosts stay away for a good while yet and they are given a chance 🤔👍

🤞 It was really misty here first thing this morning. Very autumnal... 🍂 @pelly

No mists yet but I wish this bloody wind would subside, it’s been here for what seems like weeks 💨💨

Here too but it does seem to be less today @pelly

Not only did this survive the winter, but it is flowering beautifully. #red #copperring #slugdeterrent
