Dahlias

[~Obsidian~]

I love these flowers!! I grew some YEARS ago, can't wait to repeat the grow because they're bloomin' gorgeous :D, yes, pun intended:p

I have 6 bulbs, 4 'Duet' ones and 2 'Arabian Night' ones (they're at the back and on the right of the picture).

Have you planted yours yet Tania?

I did today finally! Cleared some of the soil and planted them in the place between my intended cucumber/tomato patches. They had started to grow in the bag! :p

Looks good Tania!

Mine are the same...I love how thick the stem gets, it brings back so many memories! I'm just waiting for one of those cool buds now (well its still gotta grow a bit taller if I remember correctly).

great pics. i have tried this year growing single dwarf types from seed but i was told the results would be unexpected. i know they dont come true from seed but i wanted to try.

I am not sure they will survive the heat(90F) or not but they look healthy. This is my first year growing them from seed.The tubers wont be available here until October 20. lets see how far they survive.

[Tania]

Until now the plants are growing well and i expect they will flower much later like those from tubers Khabbab.May be after 2 or 3 years. I will do the same with the gladiulus seeds. :) From my dahlias i didn't take seeds.

your garden is coming along really well.......
