GORGEOUS!!!! i'm making it my mission to learn how to grow dahlia's this year!
thanks for the inspiration :)

Hi ladybugsmom192 & all, thank you for the comment.

Have been off the forum for a while, just thought I might have a quick look in.

Dahlias are easy in my estimation to grow & get a show of flowers, though would make sure when buying tubers to ask if they hold well in a vase, as nothing worse than getting a great show & then they all fall apart in 2 day.

Quality dahlias will hold their flowers for up to 2 weeks, ie from petal color showing in advanced buds to petals starting to die is at least 2 weeks.
