Dahlia (Border Varieties)

#dahliacactiwhite

I love this one 🌼🌼

@midnightgardener it was left in last year so flowered very late thriving now 😄

@keely Gosh, I didn't know you could leave them in. I'll have to look up about them after my three fails 🙄🌼🌼

@midnightgardener its a risk if they are big healthy tubers in a dry border they should survive I only ever leave in duplicates in case they rot over winter 😊

@gjones thank you

#dahlia #fireandice #cactidahlia think it's fare to say I love my dahlias still more than this in the garden too 😆

You can’t beat them Keely.....everyone’s a surprise even though you know what to expect....😘

Love this one. But given how accident prone you are at the moment please put the camera down and put your feet up

@pelly visit to quacks this morning due to pain won't be doing a lot as I've got frozen shoulder, but I've got a right hand n always someone poorlier than yourself out there. Painkillers will ease it in time! 😕

@hayleyaj thank you its hidden away a bit but gets so tall needs support from back fence 😯

@charlotte my feet are up hun thank you 😘

Good. Take some more magic pills soon 😜

Oh dear, that’s not good bless you. Keep taking the pain killers 😘😘

Evening Keely....pleased you’re resting your shoulder....I’m resting my knee at the moment, it’s fine until I kneel down....we’re a couple of wrecks 🤣👍🏼 fabulous dahlia 👍🏼

@charlotte at bedtime I will def need to catch up on sleep 😴😴😴

That's a beautiful one Keely 😍. Hope your shoulder gets better soon, it's so frustrating when you can't do much isn't it!

#firenice these are so much smaller than last years blooms due to the heat and drought

Still pretty though

Gorgeous though ❤️

@charlotte they are Hun but they are struggling some of the buds are drying up in hear before they open this year 😖

@helsrh thank you Helen. 😄

Oh that's a shame. Stupid question alert but do they come back next year ?? Or do you have to plant new ones each year ?

I take the tubers up Charlotte store them and start again next year @charlotte so if they don't last year Summer this year they will get taken up dried out and put in a bid looking at them don't think they will last to October this year 😶😥

Dahlia fire #red

Dahlia #firenice double trouble

Those are gorgeous hun 😍😍👍

@daisy-jane thank you hun 😘 just so you know my lungwort has spread perfect that you sent me really pleased so thank you sweetie 😘

Your welcome hinny,I'll be on the lookout for these cause they'd go great with either mystery day or the dahlia duet 😍 glad your lungwort has filled out I was worried with it being a little one it would take a little longer 🙄 it'll just get bigger and better so hopefully you will be able to split your eventually,you could always just snip a bit of the root off and plant it cause I've got loads of babies ones coming up where I've moved some plants,I'm getting overun with them lol 😘😘

Another #favouriteflower is Fire n Ice Dahlia

@gjones awe thank you it's one plant that comes back bigger n better each year after storing tubers Mum gets them each year they are split too so never no waste 😄

@Keely Your Dalias are fab. They have some fantastic ones in Wilkos at moment and soooo cheap 🤣

Beautiful Keely😍

@robingirl thank you and that is where I got all mine from last year some beauties at a great price 😄

@kvetinka thank you Betty hope you are feeling better Hun 😄

Thank you I feel so good😘

@robingirl if you go in my plants list you will see alot of the wilko ones there 😄

Can’t wait to see the Dahlias again this year Keely 😊

@Keely hi so l looked at your Dalias and yes they are superb but I can’t believe how many plants you have 😉

@lovemygarden65 I gave loads of these away this year as had no space for them typical could have sent you some its only a small one about a foot high but put so many osteospermums in had no space for them 😣

Can someone turn heating down Im frying in bed 😅😅 #notmygarden this is in mums one of my Dahlia's I split this year and hers is in full bloom mine has small buds grrr!!! #cactidahlia #ice #cantsleep 😴😴😴 Night all going to be a long night!!!

Quick! Swap them while she's not looking! 😆 N'night, sleep tight (hopefully!)

@rachelbrooks 😂😂😂 night hun

No matter whose garden it is, it's still a beautiful shot.😍

Now don't put ideas in Keely @Keely head mi Amiga @rachelbrooks 😂 although I would say and do the same 😂😂😘

@scaryskates needed it last night bit fresher today thankfully 😄

That's lovely Keely. Hope you got some sleep eventually. @scaryskates I tried the fridge but it was a tad uncomfortable 😂😂😂

Houston we have a problem here 😢😢😢 darn wind 😢😢😢 Luckily its not snapped as it has 21 buds n flowers on it so prob top heavy, now staked and hopefully finish its blooms 😀

Wow 21 nice little family gathering going on there 😜

Awe such a shame. Wind and rain played havoc with my Annabelles this. Year and now they're all staked too

Oh dear! Wind did same to one of mine last week! At least I got a nice vase for the house! All the buds opened too which was a bonus! 😀

Oh noooo! Glad it didn't snap! Hopefully it'll finish flowering now 👍🏼

Glad it didn't snap Keely.

Morning Keely , that wind was really strong here too , haven't ventured out yet , glad it's ok lovely flower 😬

Morning, just been out to add more supports to my dahlias, they blew over but thankfully didn't snap and then went to check the cannas and was just sighing with relief as a wasp fell down my cleavage 😱😲 luckily I shook it out before doing a strip 😄 so eventful morning here, think I need a 🍸now 😆

Oh no...! 😕 #winddamage

"Fire" flaming hot #goldmedal bargain bulbs bought late season 6 for £1.50 all of them are beauties 😍💕

Beautiful 💕

Stunning ❤️❤️

That's definitely a head-turner!!

Wow❤️👌🏼👒

"Ice" in all its glory been superb 😍

#collage

So we have had "Fire" and we have had "Ice" here's them combined first bud 😍😍😍

Ooh! Now that is lovely!

Beautiful Keely 😍👌

That's a stunner Keely 👌🏼❤️

Beautiful

My poor Ice taken a battering from wind n rain 😣

Same here Keely , amazed anything still standing 😂😂

@juliesgarden 😢😢

Terrible we had it a week ago, ran around staking everything. Hope it passes soon 👍

First casualty from the rain rescued poor "fire" snapped off, will have to enjoy in vase now but they don't seem to last long in vase 😕😣

@keely beautiful! So are you opening the bottle?! 😂😜😍

Love it! #ilsonrootswishlist

@hayleyaj its waiting for a special occasion that bottle had it 10yrs still no special occasion 😣😕

I find they don't last too long in a vase too Keely 😏😏

@Keely best check the sell by date! Celebrate your beautiful garden! 😍😜😂

@hayleyaj champagne matures with age so should be ok, dont drink alot these days been out after wrk n had 2 drinks which is enough for me tnite feel woozy n tired lol

@juliesgarden after a couple of days they seem to loose their petals not the best cut flowers to have 😕

No I agree 👍

That's a shame if I had flowers that beautiful I'd erecting umbrellas 😉💕

It's a besuty

#cutflower

So peeps this is the wonderful "Fire" in bloom from the fire n ice variety, have to say they have been lovely a mass of flowers produced 😍😍😍

Gorgeous Keely 😊

Fabulous ❤️

Looks a good one 👍🌺

It's gorgeous! 👌🏼

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Fire n ice getting a bit windswept 😠

🌬🌾🌻🍃🍃🍃

Another new bud on fire n ice looks darker than last one which isn't fully open yet 😀

So glad ice survived the downpour 😍

Truly beautiful 😆

Pure perfection 👍

Lovely #white #dahlia

Beauty 👏😊💕

So gorgeous!

Morning peeps looks like "Fire" could open fully very soon. Have a good week 👍

Morning! It's going to be stunning! Mine is still missing, and I'm running out of possible suspects! lol 😀

Good morning Keely, what a lovely flower, love the combination of colour on the petals, appropriately named. Wishing you a good week too 😊

Good morning 🌺

Good morning Keely what a fab colour

Good morning looks lovely 😊

Good morning lovely colour 💞💞

Good morning and what a gorgeous colour 🌸

👌🏻

dahlia Ice seems to be enjoying the rain drops

Beautiful! 😃

Morning Keely - beautiful, looks like little ice crystals! @Keely

@ukjohnny i cant wait for fire to open now loads of flowers of Ice really glows 😍

It is big grown about 3ft and put 2 in one pot so the stalks are bent fighting for space lesson learnt will just put one in next year, will post fire when it comes and there should be a mix of fire n ice but no sign of that one yet, but they did go in late as got them for £1.50 in sale late season 👍

@ukjohnny also wasn't expecting them to take this year 👆

@ukjohnny oh wow bet that was fun watching them all appear 👌 these are my first ever cacti ones just wish I had a bigger garden/patio to have more, told mum she can have a couple of these next year as we always share and 2 to a pot doesn't show them very well. These are the biggest ive ever had, my red ones in back garden are my usual big ones but tiny against these 😊

#dahliaday Ice

Looks like "Fire" is on its way 😍🙌 mucho excited hope it doesn't disappoint 😁

Hopefully the Ice is on the way

Isn't it tempting!

@kathy lots of ice open now just waiting on fire and the mixed one seem to be alot of ice and its grown that big its fighting for light and twisted, didn't realise when I bought them how big they would be so next year with need there own pot instead of 2 to a pot get a better display 😊

Well Ice is just about open waiting for fire now 🙌

It's a stunner! Still no sign of mine!

Lovely 😍

Its looking more like Ice this one think another day or so should know 👌

#dahlia fire and ice not far off now

Ooh reckon that will be out tomorrow @Keely 👍😉

Do you debs @debs69 its been ages cant wait to see it this looks very much like the ice one the stalk on the other fire n ice is alot darker but it could be mix n fool me 😍 I reckon it will be Saturday before its open ☺

Mine was very similar to this yesterday and tah dah it opened today @Keely 😉 it might depend on the variety and where you are in the country I suppose 🤔 exciting all the same 😀

@debs69 well its in sunny position in sunny yorkshire so I will have my watchful eye out for it 👍

Look forward to seeing it Keely loving the colour

Wonderful! I think I have this one but can't remember where I've planted it! lol 😁

Mines in a pot Ian @bigemrg but way too big for pot its in didn't realise it got that big will have to go in bigger pot next year its no room to move 😐😠

Mine is in a pot somewhere on my patio but I have about ten dahlias at the moment and those that haven't flowered all look alike to me! lol 😁

@bigemrg all look alike but all so different lol 😁

@Keely ha ha I must have dahlia's next year very exciting 😍😍

@pauline33 there are so many varieties they are a must have and flower for ages with feed n dead heading have some in pots and as garden fillers so sprung bulbs are taken up and dahlias go in space filled each year 👍

Still not much change in the fire and ice department lol not sure which one it will be or could it be the mix and be both!!! Oh the excitement!! 😁😁😁

It is opening come on you

Wish this would get a wiggle on cant wait to see if its Fire or Ice 😐

😁😁😁

Anticipation 🤗

Any time soon! 😀

I'm going to say fire! No basis just a guess ☺️

Wonder what it is?? !!! ICE

Remember the bargain dahlias well safe to say they have thrived despite been put in late got first few buds on so can't wait to see these bloom "Fire and Ice" 🙌

Yay! 😁👍

News on the bargain £1.50 dahlias 5 out of 6 are up 🙌

👏👏👏 @keely you must be pleased!

@titchyfra I am these were my fav too 🙌

👍🏼👌🏼👏🏼

Yay! 🤗
