Mine downed on Halloween night--temperatures hit 27. Once this wind falls (from 25 MPH), I'll dig out.

I was surprised to see new buds on this potted d. that was seriously drought stressed less than a month ago. These just popped up on Fri. Should bloom in the next 2 days

Your dahlia looks like mum buds, Steve? My dahlias have not been killed by frost but flowering quality on them is no longer good. The plants look pretty bad.

My dahlias are like Kousa's dahlias no frost but the dahlia party is over in my garden. Oh but what a party it was this summer, gives me something to dream about during the winter months.
