Dahlia

Love how different each flower is 💖💛 #dahlia

All so beautiful 😍😍

All gorgeous, but the bottom one's coloring has taken me!!

Beautiful 😍

Pretty

Gorgeous. My one similar to this has been very poor this year 💗💛💗

@hkyfvr @gjones @KariSamuel @eternalbloom323 @charlotte thank you all 😃 one of my oldest dahlias and usually the last to flower. Early this year but much more colourful than previous years 💖💛

Always welcome Kerry. It is very lovely. 😍😍

@pelly thanks Jane 😄 a few in mine have been too. Aphids & heat haven’t been kind to us this year ☹️

Gorgeous 🤩 Kerry

@philstalder thank you Phil 😀 an oldie but it’s a proper show off 😛

#dahlia

Gorgeous💛💗

Beautiful dahlia. Love the yellow and pink tips. I thought it was one of your mums for a second till I took a good look. How wonderful to have these in November. 👍😍😍

@crabby58 thank you Thelma 😁

@hkyfvr thank you Diane 😄 it does look like the reverse of the chrysanthemum I posted yesterday 😂 this one is so pale now it’s running out of energy 😖

Very welcome. Mine ran out of energy weeks ago. They will be back next Spring hopefully but we have to face Winter first. 😔

That's so lovely 💛💛

@hkyfvr wishing for a very short winter 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@midnightgardener thanks Chris 😛

I am also. I have a bad feeling we are getting a worse Winter than we had last year. 🤷‍♀️🤞🤞

@hkyfvr I’m beginning to think the same 🙈

#dahlia

Love the petals reaching out in every direction 🤍💗💛

@hkyfvr thanks Diane 😀 one I’ve had for a few years but always look forward to seeing. It’s a crazy looking thing 😅

Very welcome Kerry. I love the crazy look. It almost looks like she is waving her many arms around. 🤣

@hkyfvr like one of those crazy blowup things they have at car dealerships 🤣🤣🤣

I love those things. My granddaughters used to call them silly guys when they were little. I saw one the other day at a store opening. 🤪

Me on bad hair day 😬

@hkyfvr that’s so cute 😅 and what I’ll now be calling them 😛

@vegandmore 🤣 you & me both! 😆

Thanks. You are so sweet to say that. 😊♥️

@hkyfvr 🤗🥰

#dahlia #wildlifewednesday

Friend and foe or friend and friend

Pardon the pun @ukjohnny 🤣🤣

Looks like they've fallen out with each other! 😄

@ukjohnny 😂🤣😂 couldn’t help but chuckle at that 😆

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom I can never remember the bad types of ladybird 🙈

@jeatacake 🤣 they do! On the same dahlia so dunno what they’re fighting about 🤷🏻‍♀️😆

#dahlia

That’s a beauty 💗💛💗

Oh my, this is cool

How pretty Kerry! There's so many dahlias! It's hard to decide which ones I want!

Does she have a name, Kerry? She’s a real stunner 💕💕

Oh my, that's gorgeous 💗💛💗

Oh my that's so pretty!💘😍

I love it...lovely soft colours...

So pretty 💕💕💕💛

She is perfect. 🌸💛

@lovemygarden65 thank you Marilyn 😊

#dahlia

So pretty 💗💛💗

@lovemygarden65 it’s the first one that’s come through with proper colours. The first few looked bleached 😕 this has made up for it though 😛

@gjones thank you Katy ☺️ it’s one that takes a while to get going but worth the wait 💖

What a star ⭐️😉

@telswirld 😂 an exploding kind 😛

#dahlia

@suerichards thanks Sue ☺️

@gjones thanks Katy 😁

Beautiful 💛💗💛

Great looking dahlia

@lovemygarden65 thanks Marilyn 😀

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thank you Elaine 😃 I agree, just wish I knew its name 😜

@alan1111 thank you Alan 😁

Have a look at Cabana Banana it’s very similar Kerry 👍🏼

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom oh yes! That could be the one 🧐 cheers Elaine 😛

Still trying 😅

It's so pretty

I think that’s like mine Kerry it’s took forever.....

Very unusual colors, I love it!💘😍

Love the colour combination of that one

@lesliecole49 thanks Leslie 😀

@gjones thanks Katy 😃

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom some take an age 😜 but worth the wait 😁

@ShelleySnyder thanks Shelley 😄 it changes so much as it opens but wish it would stay these colours 😜

@alan1111 thank you Alan 😁

You are welcome!💘😍

@gjones thanks Katy 😛

Beautiful 💗💛💗

@lovemygarden65 thanks Marilyn ☺️

Beautiful!💘😍

Looking good despite all the rain 💛🧡

@ShelleySnyder thanks Shelley 😁

@jeatacake sadly it’s hanging its head now ☹️

My pleasure!💘😍

Hopefully it'll have perked up today 🤞😊

Love this @kez001uk

@jeatacake sadly not, lost a fair few flowers on it but still a couple hanging on. Just noticed buds on 5 new honka dahlias I bought a few months back so I’m hoping they’ll flower before the frosts 🤞🏻

@wtwitchell6969 cheers Wayne 😁 it’s been great this year!

Love the colour of this one 😍

Lovely colour on this one 😊😊❤❤

Just perfect Kerry 👌

Awww gorgeous 😍😍😍

@anges thanks Ange 😊 it starts much brighter but it’s lovely at this peachy stage 🧡

@gjones I’d not noticed that 😯 flat petals, like another smaller flower 😍

@midnightgardener thank you Christine ☺️

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😁

@lexicon thanks Alex 😄

Beautiful dahlia love the colour variation

@alan1111 the colours it goes through are beautiful 😍 wish I knew its name 😫

@gjones thanks Katy 😛

Wow! 😍 Incredible!!

@laneygarden it’s a crazy looking thing but it’s beautiful 😁

How beautiful 💚

@sue7law thank you Sue ☺️

So gorgeous!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder love how curly it’s got as it opens 😋

I agree!💘😍

Love this one like #frilly ones 😍

@Keely they remind me a little of your Japanese sounding one 😂 (daren’t even attempt to spell it 🙈)

I just call it Tsuki 😂 it is very similar 😄

@Keely way easier to remember 🤣

Wow 😍

Fabulous 💗🧡💗

Plant envy 😍😍😍

Very cool flower !!! 😍😍

@sherrisgarden thanks Sherri 😀 they’re big flowers too, just not many of them at the moment 😜

Beautiful

Oh now there’s a girl with an attitude 😘😉💗

Gorgeousness!💘😍

So jealous. Snails and sluggs munched on mine 😭

@lesliecole49 thank you Leslie 😃

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom she’s not a shy one that’s for sure 😂

Beautiful 😍

@ShelleySnyder thanks Shelley 😄

@dermot46 I’m sorry to hear that ☹️ guess that’s one advantage of growing in pots, less likely mine will be slug food 😜

@lovemygarden65 thank you Marilyn ☺️ wish I knew the variety because I want more 🤣

@kez001uk, hi Kerry, my are still in bud, leaving it late

@robert1961 these are much earlier than last year for some reason 😕 can’t wait to see the photos of yours 😍

Some flowers are just magical. If you get the chance , visit San Francisco conservatory during the Dahlia bloom

@prohobo I can imagine it’s an amazing sight! Will have to look it up, thank you Pyram 😊

https://goldengatepark.com/dahlia-dell-garden-in-golden-gate-park.html

Milk one like this didn't make it. I watered them a little too much upon sprouting. 😭

@prohobo thanks Pyram 😁

@PunkyKy I’m sorry to hear that Ky 😔 they rot so easily 😜

Thank you Kerry. Yes they do, as I'm finding out. But I'll try again next year! 💖💛💗

@PunkyKy they’re too pretty to not try again 😛 better luck with the next lot 🙏🏻

Oh my this is a real stunner!!💘😍

Thank you Kerry! Oh yes I definitely agree.... must try again!💗

Gorgeous 💋

@gjones thanks Katy 😀

@gjones just seems to get bigger by the day 😂

@gjones I’m far too enthusiastic about this one flower 🤣 been photographed more than almost any of my other plants 🙈

@gjones thank you 😀

Lovely 👍

@Jasonsparkes1 thanks Jason 😁

@plants thank you, I really love it 😃

Wow I love this one @kez001uk ☺☺💛💛

@midnightgardener thank you 😄 it’s the only one that flowered but hopefully will be a bit more generous next year 😂

Wow stunning Kerry 😍 @kez001uk

@vinny3000 thank you 😀 so glad it opened before the frosts ☺️

Would of been such a shame to lose that one to frost Kerry its a beauty 🙂 @kez001uk

Lovely 💛

@vinny3000 was checking it every day waiting for it to open 😂

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks Elaine 😁

Lucky you're not in stoke. Been 2 frosts here already mine are going off now 😭 @kez001uk

@vinny3000 we’ve yet to have one in Cambridge, least not the bit I’m in 😂 but it is no doubt on its way so best make the most of the flowers we have left til next year 😁

@gjones thanks Katy ☺️ looks better every day 😍

Not the frost you have worry about today Kerry ..... wind and rain. Blowing like mad and pouring down this morning up in Stoke. Fearing the worst 😟😟 @kez001uk

@gjones thanks ☺️ I love it and really hope it has more than one flower next year 😅

Stunning Kerry 😊 @kez001uk

@vinny3000 thanks Gary 😁 was worth the long wait 😅

Ohhh I like this 😁

@Hayley.R thanks Hayley 😁 wish I knew what it was called cos I want more 🤣

That’s a really pretty one. I never saw those til I got on GT. It’s very pretty !!👍🏻😊💕

Just lovely 😍

@terrimclaughlin thank you ☺️ never grown them myself til this year. A very late bloomer by all accounts 😅

@plants thank you Judy 😁

@gjones thanks Katy 😄 it’s opened up a completely different colour than it looked in bud form 😜

Delicate and pretty..

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thank you 😃

@ukjohnny thanks John 😁

Great pic 📷👍

@plants thank you ☺️

@gjones thanks Katy 😊 they’re just very late 😂 but glad it opened before the frosts!

@gjones it’s sunny but very cold, strange combination 😂 not sure why this one is so late flowering but hope to see what it’s like anyway. Possibly a cactus dahlia 🤞🏻 we usually get first frost in mid October but who knows this year 🤣

@gjones it’s still really cold compared to the temperates you were getting. A long winter will be so miserable, it’s already long enough for you I’m sure!
