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.

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

    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:

    I have the pink dahlia, top right. It's a favourite, flowers longer than any of my others.
