No frost yet, they were a little tattered from the rain.

Butchardt Gardens in the rain and dahlias made me so happy!

Oh no! Give her another shot next year- mine had lots of blooms and it’s such a great color.

Camano Buz: a perfect pumpkin of a dahlia. Round and such a great orange.

Very pale pink

RM Baby Girl giving me a perfect bloom. She’s hard to photograph and such a diva in the garden. She doesn’t like it too hot or sunny. But seems to love October.

Such a good color!

Oh no- that’s too soon to lose your flowers! I have 3 yet to bloom and they all have buds so I’m hoping to see them this month.

Definitely worth getting!

Love, love, love BQ Alan. So many blooms and each one prettier than the next.

Another one for my wish list. Thanks for the id.

First bloom of the dahlia named Chewy. Hybridized by Swan Island Dahlias in OR in 2019. A late first bloom, but to be fair I planted her late- July 7. She is perfectly themed for fall.

That little cactus variety is really sweet. Do you know its name?

You need at least a 5 gallon pot. I use 7 gallon grow bags for some of mine. Basement is a great place if it stays between 40 and 50ish degrees. Any warmer and they start to sprout.

Visited a dahlia farm in Arlington, WA. It was raining and I kind of like how my pictures turned out. Bracken Sarah, Bloomquist Pleasing, Clearview Enid, Clearview Debby. Taken at Soaring Heart Dahlias.

What a sweetheart!

Wow! So many blooms!

A vivid orange dahlia

The long awaited Bloomquist Jean dahlia. My tuber stopped growing at about 2 inches tall, so I bought a cutting in late June. So happy to see her!

Skipley Spot of Gold is a beautiful lavender color with gold tips on each petal. So pretty!

Some lovely blush blooms from this week.

Welcome! Don’t tell anyone about our fabulous weather. Pretend it rained the whole time you were here.

River’s Can’t Elope is top of my wish list for next year!

Dahlia of the day: Clearview Peachy. I expanded my dahlias from 40 to 100 this year and ordered a slew of new varieties- many of them ball form dahlias. Clearview Peachy is a huge ball, some blooms are 5-6 inches in diameter. Amazing!

Is that AC Twisp?

Here’s a better pic of CV Pataha, but it’s blooming darker bronze now.

Tyrell is top left and CV Pataha is top right- partially obscured. We’re having great dahlia weather over here this summer!

20 dahlias all the colors of the sunset.

My first flat lay! Dahlias include BQ Alan, BQ Blush, Clearview Peachy, Clearview Pataha, Tyrell, Skipley Moonglow, KA’s Mocha Katie, Robin Hood. #lifegoals #bloomscrolling #dahlias

Too beautiful to be real: Bloomquist Alan.

Newest dahlia bloom: Robann Royal. Hybridized in 1991 by Robert and Anna Moynahan. It’s a gorgeous shade of purple although my pictures make it look pink.
