I'm going to have to batter you.

You very kindly sent me some Dahlia tubers that I'm afraid went in rather to late and I subsequently lost a few of them... still, the ones that I didn't manage to kill off began to flower a few weeks back; big glorious and blousey pink pom-poms!!!

Now, I'll be honest, I didn't think I was much of a fan of Dahlias but I have been quite taken with their audaciousness (is it a word? did I spell it correctly? who cares?). Anyway, today I went out and bought five more to fill out the small bed I had put them in and, whilst standing admiring them, I actually considered taking out some cabbage 'spares'in the adjacent bed to put more in!!!  :ohmy:

You've got a lot to answer for, blondie!!!  :mad:


 :D :D :D

*cough* pictures :| I'm guessing the pink ones are marys ;)

Just remember, dahlias will happily flower in a 5" pot ... although they appreciate room ... don't sacrifice more cabbages than you have to!

Mary's Pomander, wasn't it? Two big plants of that. There's another that has flowered yet, not sure which.
