dahlia

Its a smashing colour San, with such dark leaves. There seems to be such a lot of pests in the garden this year.....I was waiting for my delphiniums to come out, and they are no more, just been pruned off....huge snails again...:o((

thanx janey, no snails or slugs so i guess its moths as i have quite alot here, shame about delphiniums janey i only have two which have survived, one huge so hope flowers are as big, the other not so exciting, but thats gardening isnt it ;o))

Could also be earwigs Sandra they love Dahlias!

arh never thought about them carole ;o((

Its a nice colour Sandra.......

thanx maureen its my first year with them, never liked them much before,,, is it my age hahah

Think this may be 'Moonfire', Sandra.

Dahlias seem to attract so many bugs, I`ve never seen so many aphids before but only one or two slugs...hope I haven`t spoken too soon!

thanx shirley, sounds familiar ;o))
really sandra, up to now not alot of bugs but that could be because of my frogs being about, and blue tits always on my plants to ;o))

how lovely frogs and blue tits on pest patrol.

lol sue ;o))
