Dahlias

These were given to me yesterday by a young girl who had come to our garden on the Open Gardens Day and admired the Melica grass and white Malva. I promised to dig up some Melica and collect seed from the Malva, so she came round to collect them with this gorgeous bunch of flowers for me, and some Sweet William seeds!
(I think I might have a new friend although there must be about 50 years between us :) )

That’s nice. I hope so. Lovely Dahlias & I hope your garden open day went well. What, no thunder, lightening & cloud burst? We were nearly washed away in the Guildford area , & last night (4am), same again. Sunny most late afternoons though.

Thanks Josee, yes the day went very well … ages ago, it was on the 26th June!

What a lovely gift for you ... they are very pretty. I have two white Malvas in flower now, sown from the seed you kindly sent me.

Thanks Shirley, that’s great 🙂.

A beautiful bunch of Dahlias from the kind girl!

Thanks David. Yes, it was a great surprise!

Pretty perfect!!! Gorgeous vivid colours too!!! What a kind gesture!
Always good to make new friends, young and old x

😃😃thanks Kate … you’re right!
