Just beautiful lizalily. They are all gorgeous. Mine have done horribly this year due to the hot, hot summer and nooooo rain much to speak of. I'm jealous of your beauties. Judy

Lovely! - Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous. I'm finding myself sort of in to orange and yellow this year. The waterlily floating in the water is fabulous. Thanks for sharing their beauty with us.

Sorry that is not Ahoy Matey. Steve S.

I am wondering how you know that, Steve, since it is only showing a little bit of the side toward you? Here is the full view of AHoy MAtey, as labeled in my garden

Hi Lizalily

Beautiful pics. Always a pleasure to see more dahlias when I'm at work versus in my garden.

I have a Q about Sunny. I planted Sunny this year and it is a very low growing plant (2 - 2 1/2') that gave me about 4 really large blooms. Then it went into hibernation and is about to bloom from a lateral but it has been weeks since the last bloom. Is yours like that or maybe (I suspect) it is because I just planted it (year one) and in a pot to boot and maybe it needs seasoning?

I have had Sunny for a number of years. It grows tall for me usually, but this year it was the survivor of a freeze that killed 2/3 of my tubers. I moved it and it was a bit shaded by other large growers and decided to crawl along the ground and bloom where it poked out,,,Not good form but not its fault. I presume that if I give it its proper location it will be back up there where it should be at 4-5'.
