First Dahlia Bloom

21 years ago

I planted a few Dahlia's for the first time this year. I planted the tubers wrong the first time so I had to replant correctly. I have my first flower!!! http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d928b3127cce92e6a9b16afe00000016108AYsmTVo5auI

I just read a post stating it is better to cut the flowers for more blooms. Now I do not have to feel guilty for wanting to cut them and bring them in the house to enjoy.

I enjoy the flower on the stem for a few days, and then let my wife cut it. In fact after a few days, if she has not cut it, then I'll do so, just to keep the plant pushing its blooms. We wouldn't want the plant to think it had entered its menopause period. No offense meant.

Ooooh, that's very pretty. Would you happen to have a name for it?

I purchased a bag of tubers from Wal Mart. I am not sure the bag stated a name other than Dahlias. Sorry
