Tonight I only hauled two dahlias into the garage and the rest were left out so the frost could put them to sleep for the season. These ones are Sylvia, Darcy and Fantastique. I'm just waiting on AC Ben and Bloomquist Jean to finally bloom and then those will get put away as well. It was a busy weekend, got my daffodil bulbs and peonies in the ground. Might still have a few more peonies and tulips coming- but sometimes shortages happen. #gardening #bloomscrolling #dahlia

This dinnerplate #dahlia is almost as big as my face.

We finally grew a truly huge dahlia blossom. This one is almost a foot wide. By far the biggest flower our garden has ever been blessed with.
Very exciting happening in our small world.
