Tree dahlias etc
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 http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...lisfrosted.jpg 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. http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...current=01.jpg Tenuicaulis is in the centre of the picture behind the cane. http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...caulisbuds.jpg http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...aulisplant.jpg 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 http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...lawithbuds.jpg http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...ent=Stella.jpg The species D. Coccina are still flowering well, http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...sCoccina01.jpg http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...sCoccina04.jpg http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...sCoccina02.jpg http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...sCoccina03.jpg 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.
