A Super Happy Mother in law!

On Christmas day my Mother in law opened her gift, and immediately smiled! I knew I made the right choice! She mainly grows purple and pink flowers, so my color choices were limited to just that, but it did not bother me any. I love those colors as well. She has LOTS of room for Dahlias. Her front yard is loaded with BEAUTIFUL hydrangea's (my favorite plant) the blooms range from a light blue to a dark purple. I envy those hydrangeas every time I visit *sigh*...... The Dahlias will fit perfectly anywhere in her garden.


The first of the 3 is the Patches Dahlia

Patches grows 8 inch blooms... 8 INCH BLOOMS! Whoa! They are fuchsia/purple in color with white tips, they can be evenly tipped, randomly tipped or no white tips at all. Its an early bloomer on a 4 1/2 foot bush.  This is one of the only large bloomers that I ordered. Very excited to see it in person!



From big to small.... The Rebecca Lynn

 

 

2 1/2 inch blooms in a beautiful dark rose color on a 3 foot bush. This ball style dahlia is a super cut flower with it's long sturdy stems. It is a compact plant and will look great anywhere in my mother in law's garden! I am confident that this will be one of her favorites!

 

 

 

 

And finally.... Mystique

 



Introduced in 1994 the "Mystique" is a very original color, it is described as being a dusty rose color with "frosted" tips. The 4 1/2 foot bush produces 4 inch blooms on a sturdy stem for cutting. This one would do well in exhibition. Another that I may end up growing in my own garden down the road!
