| For the first time ever, I planted sections of similar colors of dahlias. This is the carefully crafted red, orange, and yellow section; plotted out so the shorties were in front, then 4 footers, then talls.
So what is wrong in this picture? Row 2 Big Monster 8 ft purple Mazama rears its ugly head! How did this happen? The tubers are like watermelons. Surely I would have recognized it at planting time..., but no.

| 8 foot monster! My goodness, what are you feeding it? Viag...? I have never seen one that large before. I know just the place for it if you are getting rid of excess tubers. LOL |

| LOL Jroot no prescriptions here. Good old compost laced with goat poop, Osmocote, recent Mor Bloom and shredded leaf mulch. I think in my photo album I have the caption to Mazama as "Get the ladder..." I have two other plants of this in various locales. One is 6-7 feet and a late-to-sprout one is only about 4.5 ft. Here's last years Mazama. |
