Dahlia 'Nuit d'ete'

Good evening good folk of GT! After an infestation of whitefly, a bit of a trim, and a few weeks of regeneration, my #dahlia 'Nuit D'Ete' is forming new flower buds! Just hope there's enough summer left for the flowers to mature! 😀 #macro

Aww stunning 📸💗💗

Fab as always ☺

Looks like it's ready to pirouette 😂

Fab pic, hope it flowers for you 👌

@pauline33 @jaynehynesburton @christineb @Keely - Thank you Pauline, Jayne, Christine and Keely! 😀

What a poser. It was waiting for you to take a photo 😁

@vec - I think you're right Julie! 😀

Stunning capture of a very stunning Dahlia 👌🏼

@rachelbrooks - Thank you Rachel! 😀

@latebloomer - Thank you Deborah! Fingers crossed it won't be too long! 😀

Oh what a photo 👌

Oh dear! Wind and rain last night really gave these #dahlia blooms a bit of a beating! At least they'll last a little bit longer in a vase indoors! 😀

What a shame Ian but looks lovely in the vase

It looks so good in the vase

British Summer! That is a shame

@janric @harebell - Thank you both! I was gutted when I walked out onto the patio this morning, but at least these are the only casualties so far, and like you say, they don't look too shabby in the vase! 😀

@kathy - Indeed Kathy! Always a trying time! 😀

Indoor beauty 👍🏻

Weird old summer were having, not so good for our beautiful flowers ❤️

@christineb - Thankfully I got to them before the rain pelted all of the petals into oblivion! 😀

@lovemygarden65 - It certainly is, from one extreme to the other with no middle ground! 😀

must say they look superb in the vase

Thank you @tina 😀

Good morning GTers! Was very excited to see my #dahlia 'Nuit D'Ete' burst into bloom this week! Love their dark #maroon colouring! Have a great day everyone! 😀

Good morning Wow thats amazingly beautiful Ian 😍Have a wonderful day 😀

@clickchick - Thank you Jean! You too! 😀

Good morning lovely dahlia don't think I've seen that before 😀

@GREENFINGERSLTD - Thanks James! Me neither! It was part of a collection I bought from a Gardeners World magazine offer! 😀

Nice dahlia 👍

@lamaisonbleueoleron - Thanks Steve! 😀

Morning ☕️ spectacular bloom 🤓

Bonjour Ian, your welcome, I may have to find a smallish spot for this little beauty here 😉 👌

@debs69 - Good morning Debra! Thank you! I love this type of 'cactus' dahlia! 😀

@lamaisonbleueoleron - Dahlias have that effect on me too! This one grows over 1m tall so needs a bit of space! 😀

Oh yes I started with 2 a couple years back and now grown to 14 dahlias collection and growing all seem to like it here so far 👍They all stand above the 1.2m even when I've given them a little Chelsea chop 🙈 I'll definitely find a place for this one 😊👌
