Dahlia exhibit

Didn't he do well Alice :-)

He did indeed....It was fortunate we took thiis pic with his medal as they had not been dished out when he was there.......

Beautiful selection, I like the pale yellow ones very much. Congratulations to him.

The yellow ones are part of another exhibit Shirley....I should have said which ones, sorry.......the two red ones with the pale pink in the middle....the three vases....

fantastic
i love dahlias and i cant understand why florists dont sell them.

It could be that once they are cut, the blooms have a relatively short life and soon look bedraggled. A lot of the "prettier" varieties have very thick stems, in some cases an inch at least in diameter! they need to be carefully "split" in order to release water from their very hollow stems.....so...not really a good contender for the florist to deal with....

thanks amblealice, i did wonder cos they are such spectacular flowers
