The garden’s only Dahlia plant sits low to the ground, a mere 10-12 inches high and the flower heads hang down. Kneel down to get a close look and its blooms rise majestically against the deep blue, autumn sky.

Beautiful!
Thanks! It started my day off right.
It is pretty. I don’t know a lot about dahlias, but like them.
This one is blooming better than it ever has. Obviously it liked all the rain we had here this summer. I might try to plant some more next year.
The Philadelphia Dahlia Show was at Longwood Gardens last weekend… they had some truly huge blooms!! I’m going to try some of the larger cultivars next year.
I loved Longwood Gardens the one time I visited there. Hope your dahlias do well next year. I’m beginning to appreciate them more and more.
