Dahlias for 2015!

Drumroll please...........................................

My Dahlia's for 2015

Some are new and some are varieties that I grew last year. So lets begin.

First The Bumble Rumble

I LOVE THIS DAHLIA!!!
It was certainly an eye catcher last year. It has fantastic stems for cutting and goes well with other varieties in a bouquet. It is vibrant and the bee's love it.

 

 

 

Next The Coral Gypsy

 

I grew this one last year but the blooms never looked like they were supposed to and I attributed that to the mites and powdery mildew. So I thought I would give it one more try. This variety have vibrant cactus blooms that are 4-6 inches. We will see what it does in 2015.

 

Hillcrest Jonathan is next

Again I did not get many blooms off of this plant but my mother grew it and hers were beautiful! This photo does not give it justice. It is more vibrant than in the photo and I am going to give it another chance.

Last for the day is the Jomanda

This variety grew but never bloomed. I was very excited for it last year but I was disappointed. I did get one good tuber off the root so I am trying it again this year. Wish me luck!
