Dahlia Update

Well, it looks like all of the 11 dahlias we planted earlier this spring are going to make it and bloom!  This is a real coup for our first year of growing these unusual and magnificent flowers.  Next year, I'm replacing all of my vegetable garden space with dahlia beds!

I've added the names of each type of dahlia for the record here.  Memorize them--there'll be a test! :)

"Swirly Burly" Dahlia
"Bodacious" Dahlia

"Snoho Doris", a ball form in red/bronze.

  1. A note for your test: Dahlia's are not grown very widely in the MidWest.
    What is it about this climate that makes them thrive? They are so beautiful.
