Decorative Dahlia ‘Mulloy’s Moment’

Back to the flowers for today both on this blog and in real life. Today is our first formal day back at work and we will be working a bit on the Dahlia Garden among other things. I like turning over the garden or even double digging it this time of year. That gives it time to settle down nicely before planting. ‘Mulloy’s Moment’ wasn’t a super exciting dahlia last year but it did produce flowers all season. It was nice just having a plain white colored one in the garden.

Here is another Dahlia from last year, ‘Sir Alf Ramsey’. Despite it’s formal name it was a bit of an unkempt grower. It tried to get very tall and flop over but with careful and diligent staking we were able to keep it looking good. One thing about ‘Alf Ramsey’ was the flowers seemed to have variations among themselves. The lavender and white mixture was slightly different even on the same plants.
