the lack of moisture may have been a factor, Motinot...but we had so much rain this summer that I didn't have to do any watering until late August..just realized that this is a crisp pic of the neighbour's backyard...lol...it's me old eyes...don't work like they used to when looking thro a camera viewfinder. lol.

Ah, very sorry about this Lori. I must say my dahlia did poorly this year as well. I started some early and they flowered only in spring and few new ones started later even got a bloom open. I think there was something going on this side of the pond.
