After the gales the other day I took this pic of the Dahlia Imperialis
still holding up but a little windswept from the other side.

A neighbour of ours has a front garden full of nothing but dahlias, a
spectacular display in an otherwise nondescript little street. I never
see them being lifted for the winter but I'm keeping an eye out this year
