That is Show and Tell and the bush is loaded with buds. I just hope the weather holds out as I have hundreds of buds to open. One frost woule know them all out. Thanks for the comments. I have had two lessons on uploading so I hope I remember it.

You've got the growing and the uploading down pat! I agree with Viking: Bring the photos on- that is a beautiful sight.

The hardest time of year is seeing all those stems and buds go to waste, either with lack of sun, or frost, or both putting an end to their productivity. So I'll pull for eastcoast global warming for you.

You should have seen me last night. I was trying to drape fabric over the dahlias for frost cover. Some are 6 ft. high. I would get one side on and it would blow off. Gave up and started looking for protection covers. There is a Plant Protek that comes in various sizes. It comes shaped with a tie at the bottom. Of course we could make them, but I don't have the fabric or the sewing machine. The fabric is light enough that it will not break the stems.
