| I got my Dahlias in later than usual this year, even though I potted them up about the usual time. My ginger Willow pom and Juul's Allstar orchid type have been blooming for a few weeks (a few blooms each), but I am just now getting flowers from some of the larger plants. I still have over 20 different new plants from a tuber swap that haven't bloomed yet, so lots more excitement to come, but thought I would share these.
Pinelands Princess
LeBaron
Kenora Jubilee
Fire Magic (I think)

| Thanks for posting. Please keep them coming! I'm curious to see Pineland's Princess once it opens up a bit more. That's a great color combination. I've finally got a couple that are opening up. Can't wait! |

| Thanks all for the feed back. I have been checking this forum daily for the past month or so and not finding many people posting pics, so I thought I would share now that I have a few blooms. Pinelands Princess is a beauty on the stem, but it doesn't last well as a cut flower. All of those fine delicate petals start drooping fast. The camera is really nothing fancy. Its an Olympus Camedia from about 8 years ago. C-740 ultra zoom. I just set it on close up, zoom in, and click the shutter. Here is a pic of the Pinelands Princess fully open. Its difficult to capture the fullness of the bloom, it is almost like a pom the way it turns into a round ball. This bloom is just under 6" and all of the blooms are out facing which is nice for a tall plant (over 6ft)
Here is another of the Fire Magic almost fully open too - its my fave. I have a few more that are just starting to open - I'll post again when they do |

| It's so good to see Pinelands Princess! My Pinelands Princess is maybe a week away! My lasciniates seem really slow to bloom. |
