| Hi Everybody! I will post a "real" picture of this flower once it's really open, but I'm so excited about my first Dahlia baby that I couldn't wait to post this. I think this is Cornell, but I'm not really sure because I didn't label my plants. Can anyone tell from this picture? Thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge with everyone on this forum. I've learned so much and I am finally going to have a bloom!
This was taken during the heat of the day, so the plant looks a little droopy. I watered later in the day and it's happy now! |

| Bigger! About 3" across now, and seems about half open. I think I'm a bigger fan of water lily types (is that the right term?), but I'm excited to FINALLY see a dahlia that I GREW! I took another picture, but it was almost dusk and it came out crummy. I'll post it anyway, but don't laugh...I'm at a bit of a disadvantage, I only have a camera phone right now (can't afford new camera because spent all my money on stakes and twine and plants and manure and mulch and so on). I'll have my photo-talented neighbor come take a picture tomorrow or the next day. It's not quite as deep in color as I thought it should be if it really is Cornell, but I'm sure I'll learn more tricks as I go along...this one is kind of a dull dark red at present... Here's yesterday:
Here it is today, sorry for the bad pic, but I'm lucky I got to take one today. I actually left work early so I could see this in the daylight (normally get home after dark) And bonus - Hulin's Carnival has a nice plump bud, with just enough of the petal peeking out to see the purple specs. YEA! Couldn't have done it without all the help you and everyone has so kindly offered. THANKS A MILLION! I'm hooked. |
