RM Baby Girl giving me a perfect bloom. She’s hard to photograph and such a diva in the garden. She doesn’t like it too hot or sunny. But seems to love October.

First bloom of the dahlia named Chewy. Hybridized by Swan Island Dahlias in OR in 2019. A late first bloom, but to be fair I planted her late- July 7. She is perfectly themed for fall.

Visited a dahlia farm in Arlington, WA. It was raining and I kind of like how my pictures turned out. Bracken Sarah, Bloomquist Pleasing, Clearview Enid, Clearview Debby. Taken at Soaring Heart Dahlias.

The long awaited Bloomquist Jean dahlia. My tuber stopped growing at about 2 inches tall, so I bought a cutting in late June. So happy to see her!

Dahlia of the day: Clearview Peachy. I expanded my dahlias from 40 to 100 this year and ordered a slew of new varieties- many of them ball form dahlias. Clearview Peachy is a huge ball, some blooms are 5-6 inches in diameter. Amazing!

Newest dahlia bloom: Robann Royal. Hybridized in 1991 by Robert and Anna Moynahan. It’s a gorgeous shade of purple although my pictures make it look pink.
