Gorgeous. I'm finding myself sort of in to orange and yellow this year. The waterlily floating in the water is fabulous. Thanks for sharing their beauty with us.

I am wondering how you know that, Steve, since it is only showing a little bit of the side toward you? Here is the full view of AHoy MAtey, as labeled in my garden

Hi Lizalily

Beautiful pics. Always a pleasure to see more dahlias when I'm at work versus in my garden.

I have a Q about Sunny. I planted Sunny this year and it is a very low growing plant (2 - 2 1/2') that gave me about 4 really large blooms. Then it went into hibernation and is about to bloom from a lateral but it has been weeks since the last bloom. Is yours like that or maybe (I suspect) it is because I just planted it (year one) and in a pot to boot and maybe it needs seasoning?

I have had Sunny for a number of years. It grows tall for me usually, but this year it was the survivor of a freeze that killed 2/3 of my tubers. I moved it and it was a bit shaded by other large growers and decided to crawl along the ground and bloom where it poked out,,,Not good form but not its fault. I presume that if I give it its proper location it will be back up there where it should be at 4-5'.
