Three Daughters’ Dahlias🇨🇦

Oh yes, the eyeless blobs, yuck. If they don’t get the roots to grow from a leaf node, they won’t make eyes. Some who sell cuttings don’t know this. You can get roots out of the stock, but they won’t eye up the next year even if they have nice looking tubers.

Do you ever notice the cutting tubers aren’t always as good quality on average? Sometimes I think they have a bit more rot. I’ve had some great ones too most definitely too but not sure the average is as good.

That sounds lovely. Takes the pressure off but I guess you have the cold temperatures settle in fast then?

I really hope Carney is able to hold the majority government long enough to see us through to the other side.

Oh my goodness that’s a lot!!!! Yesterday I cleaned my work area of the garage and started lifting today. So much rain coming, it was nice to have the soil so dry today.
My River’s Can’t Elope cutting made some good tubers!

Time to start winter preparations. The goal is to have all the tubers packed for December 1. But honestly I’m not sure how I’ll find the time this year. I have about 170. #dahlias #gardening #cutflowers #canada #bloomscrolling

Nicely done Victoria!

Any day now I will wake up to the first frost and the end of blooms for the 2025 seasons.
Please share the beauty if so included!

Dahlia ‘Westerton Lillian’ is breathtaking in my opinion.

That’s an impressive achievement! Bravo

Thoughts and love with all those impacted by residential school’s horrible past. May we truly find Truth and Reconciliation.

Hey Canada!🇨🇦
Anyone else struggling with the fact so many people are more concerned with the cull of ostriches than the genocide in Gaza? I was up late trying to process my emotions around this while making bouquets all to give away at our daughter’s school.

Being among the blooms brought my worried mind peace today. Seems like everyday there’s just more hate in the world. Let’s spread 💕

I completely understand the mourning of family that is still alive. That’s what the past few years of my life has been all about. It’s a journey and it takes time but it does get easier. Plus, why in the hell would you mourn CK! Ridiculous. Sending love friend

A hand-tied bouquet today. #bloomscrolling #boquets #gardening #garden #flower #dahlias #roses #dahliasfordiversity #nature #naturephotography #GardensHour #coloraday #PhotoHour

Perfect west coast day. Oceans and forests. Enjoy the last warm days of the year.

I can’t say I’ve followed super close on the UK, but from what I’ve seen, I haven’t been impressed. Glad we did our trip to Ireland this year, loved it. Was thinking England next year but maybe Netherlands instead.
I did find it interesting how many people in Ireland had the same complaints as here

Such a special one. I hope to grow several next year in hopes to have a decent amount of tubers the following year. You don’t even want to know what I paid for it🫣

Storage is tricky. I’ve lost them all to getting frozen before. Our new home had an independent heater in the garage so it’s amazing cause it can set it really low so they don’t freeze. I store them in vermiculite after dividing.

‘Aggie White’ greeted me on this gloomy day. Wishing safe returns to those evacuating their homes cause of wildfires and those fighting them #bloomscrolling #boquets #gardening #garden #flower #dahlias #dahliasfordiversity #nature #naturephotography #GardensHour #coloraday #PhotoHour

Very smoggy here in the Fraser valley.

Nice to see the appreciation

Good for you for getting involved. I hope you had fun.

Awesome photo, this is 20 minutes down the road for me. It’s a great place to live with so much nature to explore.

Beautiful!

Thank you! I have just been taking orders over email for sales so far. I posted on Bluesky last spring and Facebook. Nearly all my orders come through Facebook so I have had to keep it going but dropped Instagram as it was mostly other growers who are on both anyways.

Oh yes! I feel this. My youngest always swings the front door open and yells Mom!

Hydrangeas perfection right there!

That would be awesome but I think your in the US? Phyto can be done on a small scale but it’s a bit of work but maybe one day we could to arrange a trade.
That’s so awesome you got those little stringing roots to grow, your lucky it sprouted and wasn’t blind. Well done!
