Last Dance - October Dahlias (Not So Bad Habit!!)

2007.10.21

Who Dun It

Matthew Alan

Mystery Orange Dinnerplate

Beautiful single red dahlia

Huge Dinnerplate Hakuyou ... unbelievably prolific this year!

Basket 'O Dahlias

More Basket O'Dahlias

Go figure, my dahlias are in their prime NOW. (And yes this is one of my addictions!!) It's October for goodness sake!! Dahlias really do love it a tad cooler than the blistering temps we almost always achieve here every summer. But now I can see why they seem to do so well in coastal climates & farther north in Oregon & such.

So do I love the Fall even more because of the incredible flowers that are in their prime this time of year? .....

Or do I grow these flowers that peak in the Fall because I love this time of year?


A little of both I'm sure.

Enlarge please for the best view.
