Falling in love with dahlias

9 years ago

So I purchased some of the 1/2 off tubers from Home Depot a month or so ago and planted them, not expecting anything. But they grew and bloomed and I am falling in love with dahlias!

Lovely! That first one looks like a noID one I am growing, it's very floriferous and shorter, but the stems are long which is nice.

It's so easy to get hooked with the deals out there in summer, and then next year you find yourself ordering tons more online... enjoy!

You have some nice blooms and growth. I do definitely like to buy the packages when they first come out, to make sure they are in relatively good condition. But then when that 50-75% sale comes around, I pick up any additional ones that I liked or just want more of.

It's a good bargain.
