I like the colour of your Siamese twins Moonlight, but it is a bit odd  |

They are supposed to look like this, Downham Royals are one of those dahlias that looks very different in photos depending on the light. It's a dark purple. |

I have the same problem when I take pic's of mine with the blooms they never come out right. called down to the allotment today to squeeze all the seed heads, that's a messy job.  |

Yep but strangely rewarding. Probably just me being weird.

How do you think it was supported? You don't get many canes that big?

Not yet been down to the garden to the dahlias but the seed heads on the plants in big pots are actually dry. Wonder if that is a good sign or not? It rained when I was at work yesterday but I don't know if it rained here or not.

Sorry for yet another boring post but it is raining and windy again. I think I will be so glad to get this last show done and out of the way. Might possibly be less moany weather posts.

Never boring in the world of dahlias is it? (Unless you are married to someone who thinks that, then it is more monotonous than exciting.)
