Thanks Robert! It is always a joy to be invited into your world for a time via your photos.
Love,

Sandy, do you remember me trying to grow a new Dahlia last year?
It did not work, the plant would never grow properly or bloom, for some strange reason. I had to throw it away.
Guess so, I gave it a second try this year. Bought a new bulb and planted it in early April.
Well, for once the packaging did not lie...
This is what they are showing on the packaging (last year's picture)...
And this is what I got today morning after, finally, the first flower opened up...
I believe this is the most beautiful Dahlia out there. And it looks exactly as advertised...

The only bad thing is that it does not smell at all. Unlike my other Dahlia (Paso Doble), which does smell nicely.
