They’re finally blooming, the new ones, that is…


I thought I’d share.

It’s not October
Not July yet, but only June
Dahlias are blooming!



Today’s gift
It took a bit longer to mow the backyard this afternoon. I got distracted by these beauties.


Unexpected delight
Today’s gift
It’s only July
Not October like last year
Dahlia blooming!

Today’s gift
The grand dahlia experiment is about over. Last spring I planted three tubers. In September I had one flower bloom. And today, in late October, just after an evening and early morning of below freezing temps, I can report and show Dahlia #2.
It’s a beauty and worth the wait.
With the coming of frost, is the grand dahlia experiment now over? Not quite. There are tubers to harvest, divide, store and to be replanted in the spring. Each step is something new for me and an opportunity to learn about and enjoy a small part of the Creator’s world.
