dahlias in autumn

These flowers that we brought with us from the last house (all but the purple one) are a bit late blooming this year--could be the weather, could be the micro-climate we live in--but they are huge and heavy blossoms. With the other flowers winding down to seed, they are a very colorful surprise.

Love seeing them in the garden, for the vase they are a bit too big for me :)
And they are in front of a fence :))
Have a fine time

They're so lovely. I remember them in my mom's garden, she had more of purples.

I bought some dahlia tubers only yesterday - hope they do as well as these beauties.

Dahlias are so important to me and I am pleased to see they grow in NZ. In fact, I've written several whole articles about them. They need to be treated carefully to last a long time in a vase, but make terrific late summer/early fall flowers! I think they are brilliant. Some good info in this site:

It's a special treat to have Autumn flowers that extend the blooming season. And these are wonderful.
