Why I love Dahlias in Texas

Well, here is what happens when Dahlias get beat up by Hurricane Ike, then get treated to the nice warm days and cool nights of a Texas November. This pic was snapped just a few minutes ago before the sun went down.

Of course the plants don't look so great, but keep in mind they were severely damaged in a hurricane a little more than a month ago...

    Yeah, out of the 10 tubers I planted for the first time this year, Hulin's Carnival was first to bloom, and the toughest! It is the 2nd one to have bloomed after being staked back up after the storm, and has definitely earned its spot in the garden next year. It still has a few buds on it, but we got close to freezing a few nights ago, so it might be done. I'm going to dig and divide in a week or so - I want more than one of these next year!
