I don't have a great photo of the plant itself this year. The leaves are darker and reddish compared to other dahlias (who are new to me this year). It seems to be more of a landscape dahlia, as it doesn't get too tall and stems are fine for mason jar bouquets, but not long.

All I wanted was her name, because I love this plant. They think it might be Karma Fuchsiana. I don't think that's right.

Photos of KF I find online are way more pink and bright yellow. This bloom is hard to photograph, but runs a deeper color and the accent is softer golden yellow.

What is this Dahlia?

Several years ago, I ordered my first tubers, they were supposed to be Cornel Bronze. Once she bloomed, I knew that there was a mix up. I contacted the shop, who got in touch with the grower.

The frost finally arrived last Thursday night/Friday morning. Time to store dahlia tubers and start thinking ahead to seed starting.

A good frost comes tonight. It was my last chance to get pineapple sage cuttings. I also started rosemary for 2026.

Lemongrass grass got put in the shed tonight and the garage tomorrow night. I just need to get to the weekend to harvest.

Oh the mosquitoes! I went out after work, and didn't grab my head net. Big mistake... thank goodness for cortisone cream.

We've had a resurgence in the tomatoes and temps look good for the next 2 weeks to get more that are still tasty.

David Howard dahlia

New one to me this year. Any idea why there is one weird white petal? It looks like there maybe another one to open.

I found this beauty on my baptisia today. I wonder who made it. I'll be watching the area to see if we have an orb weaver. There were a few years we had both yellow black garden spiders and catfaced spiders, haven't seen either for several years.

Peach jam, peach BBQ sauce are headed to the freezer today.

Ended up with just over a case of peaches, we love them but won't be able to eat that many fresh. So, I'm make two recipes for the freezer.

Today's Blue Sky Art Show theme was a perfect one to enter one (or maybe a few) of my favorite types of photos. I spent a few years chasing water drops. I never cheated with a hose or spray bottle.

Here's the full shrub in the garden.

My Pop Star hydrangea is looking so cute. I did put some BerryTone to push it further blue from where it was last year. This small shrub did die all the way back over winter, it is all new branches for this year.

The kohlrabi was harvested after work today. I forgot to start any, these are purchased starts, I don't know the variety.

It has been a few years since we've had Leopard Frogs in the yard. He's hanging out in a flower bed, where we get a lot of box elder bugs.

I love foggy mornings. When I used to work evenings, I had time some morni gs to just hit the backroads for a bit to explore with my camera.

I'm so happy to see these. I saved the seeds from a plant I purchased last year... and they germinated!

Successful Snap Peas! It has been a few years since I've tried snap peas, and they are a fave in this family.
Cascade on the top, Sugar Magnolia on the bottom. While the purple is pretty, I don't find them as tasty as others.

One of the most vibrant blue sky days when we played a morning round of disc golf in the Montana badlands at Makoshika State Park, Montana.
