Fabulous 🤗

Yay. Mine came out yesterday 🖤🖤🖤

Beautiful plants and photos Kerry @kez001uk

Wow. That is an amazing dahlia. 🖤😍😍

I'm obsessed

Fabulous 🖤🖤

It's beautiful. Like a black star 🖤⭐️

@rainbowgardener @sushiwaitress @godfreye @vinny8000 @KOutdoors @hkyfvr @heatherdirtyhands @juliesgarden @jeatacake thank you kindly 😁 one of my favourites, especially at this stage 🤩 another one that looks better on a cloudy day 🖤⭐️🖤 (that one folded petal is frustrating 😤 so close to perfect 🤣)

@pelly seeing yours reminded me to check it mine had made an appearance 😛

It’s back 🖤❤️🖤 - in sun. #dahlia #dahlia-verrones-obsidian

Looks like the centre is on fire 🔥

Wow. So rich and velvety. Love the dark colour 🖤❤️🖤

@vegandmore it does! Like it’s glowing 🤩

@gjones it does look so textured in this light 😋

@hkyfvr hard to believe it’s the same flower as before. Looks so different in sunlight 😜

It really does. The centre of the flower looks so bright. It gives off a glow. 🔥💛

Amazing flower. The middle is glowing ♥️♥️💛💛

@midnightgardener thanks Chris ☺️ the centre really does glow, sets off the dark petals beautifully 😍

It’s back 🖤❤️🖤 - in shade. #dahlia #dahlia-verrones-obsidian

You've beaten me with this one, mine are only little buds yet. Great to see it back 😍😍😍

This must really stand out amongst the other flowers. Lovely ❤️🖤❤️

@pelly I’d had a couple open that I’d missed too 🙈 can’t wait to see yours 😁

@gjones it looks amazing on a cloudy day 🖤 I had to try block the sun for this photo and it’s still showing much more red than it really is

@hkyfvr it’s such an eye catcher 😍 gotta love a dark & moody flower 😛

It really is amazing. 🔥

That's doing well, mine has finished flowering and has been cut down now 😢

Very pretty. So nice to see in November 💕😊

@pelly I repotted it a few weeks back and started to bud up. Probably should cut it back but think tonight’s frost will do that for me 😂🥶

@hkyfvr thanks Diane ☺️ I’m seeing a very different side of my garden this winter. Usually I cut everything back as soon as the first frost hits but I’ve left it this year and it’s amazing what is still flowering 😜

I left some things and they bloomed long after I thought they would too. My lilies started up again and my primroses and a few more. It was an unusual autumn. I am happy you got to enjoy these long bloomers. Makes the time till Spring seem shorter? 💕💕😊

@hkyfvr sounds like you’ve had a much longer flowering season too! It’s amazing out there, still lots going on. But you’re right, makes that wait for spring a whole lot shorter 😁

😍😍

What a stunner.

Omg! 😳😳 That is brilliant! Love it! 💕

@ublaszko finally got the true colour without the sun making it look red 🖤

@gjones it’s almost pure black when it’s overcast. Just love it 😍

@novicegardenlover thanks Susan 😀 it’s certainly a standout 🖤

@rhododendronmad thanks Linda 😃 doesn’t seem to have many flowers but when one opens you definitely know it! 😍

It's still a little bit red 😏😄😄

@ublaszko it does but less so than the blood red it usually looks in photos 😜

👋 Kerry, those petals look like nibs for a fountain pen! 😄

Lovely! Even more lovely to see you back on GT Kerry! 😀 🙌 😘

Welcome back Kerry 😏 @kez001uk

Hi Kerry 😃 lovely deep colour 😍

Spectacular 💕🐝💕

That is truly exotic! 🧡 It never ceases to amaze me what nature can produce! 🙋🏻‍♀️

😯😃 Kerrrryyyyyyyyy!!!!! You never cease to amaze me 😍 Love the dahlia and love to see you back here!!! WooHooo!! 🥳

Welcome back Kerry 😘

Amazing looking! Glad to see you again Kerry!💘😍

@lilybee hi Sue 😀 they really do! Amazing how they open up 🖤

@italydiva thank you Angela 😊 looking forward to seeing how your garden has been doing 😋

So nice to have flowers so late in the season 😊😍

And a pretty one at that!! How are you☺️. Gosh I missed a lot of summer. I’ve brought my mother here to Texas with the help of my oldest son. The airlines was great about helping. She’s ok. I just got back. I’ll have to look through your garden. I remember you had some real beauties this year after all that seeding you did, early spring 😊💕

Especially that colour 👍😍

I like the color.

Ooooohhhhweeee!! She's a real beauty Kerry!💘😍

Great looking flower the center seems to glow off the petals

It’s amazing Kerry....even the rich velvety crimson....

Great photo of a stunning flower 😊😊❤❤💛

You must have a mini micro climate there 👍 Frost a few days ago put an end to most tender flowering plants here

@ublaszko few and far between now but some are holding on til that hard frost hits 🥶

@terrimclaughlin I’ve been wondering how you’re doing. I’m glad to hear your mum is doing ok and must be easier on you having her in Texas rather than you being at hers. It’s lovely to have you back on here ☺️

@pelly it’s lovely and rich, set off by the bright centre 🖤💛

Wow!💘😍

Very glam too! I just love rich colours 😍😍

Definitely not black! 😁

@ShelleySnyder thanks Shelley 😊 love how detailed the petals are up close 😍

@ublaszko it’s a beautiful deep burgundy when it’s got a little sun on it 😋

@jeatacake it’s not anymore 😛

It's a similar colour to my black hollyhock. When I saw it in bloom I thought about you 😉

Me too!💘😍

@ublaszko that hollyhock was beautiful but couldn’t wait that long for flowers 😂

😂😂😂

Gets better and better every day 😄 This is so you! 😊👍

I can see the red under tones...it’s beautiful

Ooooooh!💘😍

Just as striking as the black one 👍

@ublaszko thank you Urszula 😛 we are both quite unusual, just this has a much better tan than I do 😉😂

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks Elaine 😊 it’s a gorgeous deep burgundy now 🖤❤️

@ShelleySnyder not too shabby is she 😛

@jeatacake thank you Jeff ☺️ this is the black one believe it or not 😜

😂😂

Not shabby at all!!👍💘😍

Wow! Quite a change 😯

@jeatacake it does look a lot different in the sun but black as coal when it’s not being highlighted 🤩

U have some beautiful flowers girl....im usually not a flower person but I love yours

@heatherdirtyhands thank you heather ☺️ I appreciate that very much 😁 it’s one of the many great things about this app, shows you so many plants you’d not pay attention to normally. I’m happy you enjoy seeing my flowers 😛

This is just getting better and better!💘😍

Keep em coming!

@ShelleySnyder thank you Shelley 😀 it’s starting to show it’s burgundy tones but it’s still as gorgeous 😍

@cyndi it’s quite a looker isn’t it 😛

Welcome! It just gets better!💘😍

Oh wow..it’s really black isn’t it....I love it..🖤

Wow 😮

My oh my!! This is going to be amazing Kerry!💘😍

I’ve got a real soft spot for black plants. Must be my dark side showing through 😂

Love it. It's unlike any other dahlia I've seen 🖤

Amazing flower

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom I expected it would get lighter but it’s stayed so dark so far 🖤

@debs69 thank you Debra 😀

@cyndi thanks Cyndi 😃

@gjones me too. Wasn’t expecting one quite so dark but it’s gorgeous 😍

@ShelleySnyder I do hope so 😁 I’d love it to stay this colour once its fully open 🤞🏻

@gardendan84 there’s something about them 😍 I have a few but didn’t know black dahlias were a thing until a couple of days ago 😜 it’s ok for it to shine through in plant form 😉😂

🖤

Wow! How black is that!! Can't wait to see it fully open 😯

Wow😮 that looks like a black beauty....🖤

Like claws! Is this Verrone’s Obsidian Kerry? I’ve ordered that for next year! 🖤

Just in time for Halloween!

Ooooooh!! I wanna see this one!💘😍

I love this one!

@jeatacake it really is almost black at the moment 😛 I wasn’t expecting it so thought the rain had rotted the bud 🤣 good thing I didn’t cut it off - almost 🙈

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom really hoping it stays as dark 🤞🏻

@rachelbrooks just in time for Halloween 😉 that’s the one 😛 I had to wait until they flowered before I could name them because it came mixed together with another 4 colours 😜

@cyndi thank you Cyndi 😀

@gjones I can’t wait 😛 love black flowers 🖤

Starburst. Cataloging
