Pretty Dahlias

Hello Friends!

So, it's back to Willow Farm for the children and I.  We spent the half term down with my parents in Dorset and had a really lovely time on the coast.  The sea air did us all a world of good.  Even if it was wild and windy down there.

Our little chicks are really growing in size.  It's really funny watching them get piggy back rides from their Mum! Haha.

I just wanted to quickly show you some pictures of the beautiful Dahlia's that we had this summer.  These are their final days now but we have really enjoyed the little colourful display they have given us and can't wait to grow more for next year.

From top to bottom - 

Dahlia 'Chocolate'- Irresistible chocolate scented dahlia, smells good enough to eat! Half hardy tuber.

Dahlia 'Bridge View Aloha'(Giant)- Spectacular flower heads on upright stems, reveling sunshine yellow petals each with a burning red tip- Semi Cactus Dahlia.

Dahlia 'Bishop Of Llandaff'- Reaches 30 inches on lovely dark foliage, Two or more rings of generally flattened florrets, the center forming a disc- Paeony Flowered Dahlia.

Dahlia 'Bracken Ballerina', it reaches a height of 4 ft, and is one of the best Pinks in the waterlily dahlias, and has endless flowers.

See you all very soon.

Lucy
