Dahlia Fest!







What a beauty - and the dahlia ain't too bad either! That's my daughter who was surprised a flower could grow this big - the dinner plate dahlias are so gaudy and tacky ( I mean that in the best way ; ) . They always have the WOW factor.

Old House Dahlias is in a neighborhood in SE Portland, Or. This business is the result of a passion for plants that has taken over the entire small city lot. You can see the plants in bloom in Sept. and Oct. and order your tubers then. Mark will dig them, store them and call you in the spring when it is time to plant. Talk about buying local and supporting a cottage business!

look forward to more garden blogs from Denver"the Hort capital of the Rockies". I do love them dahlias. The blooms are so big and the colors just like a rainbow. If they could only grow in shade, I'd love 'em more.
