I had a look at the GW bit about Dahlias and our friend showing his
Tree
Dahlia D. Imperialis, he was wrong about it's flowering time. it's
late
October to November, not September.
It does seem as if a hot summer helps flowering, mine flowered well
last
year, but not even a bud this year.
The leaves do look good, and I measured one today that is 37 inches
long.
The touch of frost that we had a few days ago knocked the ordinary
dahlias a bit and caught some of the leaves on the Imperalis but just
the odd one, and in some cases just half a leaf, this picture shows
frost damage between 2 plants that were untouched

The

next

pictures are of D.Tenuicaulis, it is now close to 10 ft tall
with flower buds showing at the tips, the leaves are much smaller than
D. Imperialis.

There

are

a lot of the Hybrid tree dahlias flowering well despite the
rain and hail we have had the last 3 days, and with plenty of buds to
follow weather permitting

I

think

you can see the rest of the album showing the range of the
Hybrids as they are today, though some were taken 2 weeks ago.

One of my favourites is this,

the form could be better but I love the colour and with a flower 6 to
7 inches across it looks good

I get a blank page on your photo album when I click on that. But flower
no. 3 is a tousled pink which is just lovely! Is that it? Below is the
url for that one. I want one!

That

and No 10 are the same dahlia Sacha

Thanks, Bob. But when I clicked on Dave's link ending in 03a.jpg, I got
into his album but the page was blank. Am I doing something wrong?
Other than 'clicking' I did nothing else, however.

Bob?
The link for 03a is the one I posted as No 10 Sachs
