  1. They sure are beautiful! I have never grown dahlias because I just cannot think how to keep them here in the winter since I have no cool place to store them. Someday I will figure out how best I can do that. Thanks for the posting.

    1. They were lovely, and so many of them were very large...larger than my hand. And so colorful. I was so jealous, because I don't have enough sun here to grow a large collection of them.

  2. Darling dahlias! Not something I could ever grow here, but they sure are pretty, aren't they? Nice post, Beth! Tina

    1. Hi Tina: Yes, they are beautiful. And so many of these were gigantic and so lush. I wish I could grow more here...but I don't have enough sun. Thanks!

  3. Every one a beauty! The 6th flower (peach and white) is one I saw earlier this season and fell in love with. I'm going to have to hunt it down to plant next year.

    1. Thanks, Susie. Yes, there were sooo many beauties! This is just a small sample. I agree: I've come to love them more and more over the years. They're beautiful, and they're such great cut flowers. <3

  6. WOW!!! I was just sharing with my husband how dahlias were no big deal for so many years. They really made a comeback and I am so happy about that.
    I do wonder what flower will be the next comeback?

    1. Hey, Carla. The Dahlias were impressive in the Philly gardens--so many HUGE ones! I have become more of a fan of Dahlias as the years go by. Unfortunately, I don't have enough sun for more than a few plants. Re: the comeback...it's always changing, isn't it?

  7. I love dahlias but they struggle in our blazing hot summer heat. Seeing these pictures reminded me I have not dug up my one remaining dahlia plant to store for the winter. It has been added to my to-do list for this weekend.

    1. I have the opposite problem in my shady garden. I can only plant a few. But they love our climate, so maybe someday... Have a great weekend!

  8. Wow! They are so beautiful. I wish I had extra room to grow rows & rows of them.

  9. A few?! What a fabulous set of colorful dahlias. Hoping to join the fling next year, for my first time, since it will be in my neck of the woods.

    1. Ha! I didn't even realize I had taken so many Dahlia photos until I got home and started organizing the files. I'm obviously having Dahlia envy. Good to hear you'll join the next Fling! I hope we'll be able to meet.
