Dahlia 3rd Nov..09...Still Flowering..

Yes I've got this one too.... been amazing! Wind and rain getting the better of it now though I think

Mine are the same Antig, but what a wonderful show...i love them...:>)

They've had a bit of a makeover in recent years haven't they, fantastic choice at most garden centres. Used to hate them as a child because they were always full of earwigs - but mine don't seem to have that now. Perhaps they have bred them to be unattractive to them?!

I dont know about that Antig!!!...Mine have had plenty of ear-wigs this year.....though the colerettes dont seem to attract them as much, maybe its becaust the colerettes aren't as deep in the petals as the others, and so less warm, dry hiding places...yukk!!
