Decorative Dahlia
Dahlia 'Dalina Grande Panay’
(DAHL-ya)
This was is one of the
massive loads of annuals we bought yesterday. I spent all day going from one
farm to next. Apparently I am not the only one with messed up timing this year
as there was a good selection of flowers and a lot of customers. Getting what I
needed was easy but there wasn’t enough room to carry everything in the truck
so I will be going back to claim some more prizes today. Getting everything
planted by the weekend is going to be tricky but possible.
Dalinas are nice to have in the
garden. They don’t require staking and seem pretty free flowering. Of course
they do not have the flower size that most of the regular Dahlias do but make
up for it by producing a lot of flowers in a good range of colors. This one is
going into the cutting garden along with some Zinnias, Cosmos and Annual
Asters. Some of the perennial asters and mums from last year survived the
winter so they are in the mix too.
“It is the month of June,
The month of leaves and
roses,
When pleasant sights salute
the eyes,
And pleasant scents the
noses.”

dahlias are darling!
That dahlia just glows. I looked at some discount dahlia corms(?) tubers(?) anyhow, I can't figure out where to plant some, so I passed.
btw- these word verifications are getting harder to see/read/understand.
Wonderful picture of a Dahlia! I've actually never seen this one before. Thanks!
The dahlias are just awesome! Thanks for sharing them!
