I think dahlia buds are even more fascinating than the flowers, mine is doing very well this year, unexpectedly!
Is it those that get attacked by earwigs? I think I might have had some once. (The flowers, not the earwigs)
Best wishes, Pete.

Bloody hope not! I get earwigs in the shed which is odd as Phil made it air and watertight π€£ but never seen one on my dahlias. Cheers Pete!

Dahlias! My garden weed whacked mine the one year I planted them! Since then, he has been supervised about bulbs . . . he’s a nice guy but a mow-and-blow gardener. I think dahlias are the most outrageous flowers and really agree that the buds are so intriguing, even better in b&w. Very nice.

Thanks Naomi. I had 3 pots of dahlias last year and after they flowered and died in winter I just left the pots alone and 2 of them have popped up again, even better than the year before. Wasn’t expecting that!

Calla lilies are really hard to kill. I know, I tried. Now I am resurrecting them because I have time to be a better gardener . . . water helps, too!
