Dahlia Delight

These dahlia bulbs had been forgotten about, then planted in pots and left in a hot greenhouse and finally put into the ground a couple of weeks ago "to see what would happen". In spite of all this abuse, they have just opened today and there are lots of buds to come into flower. Lovely to see their pretty colour when everything else is fading.

Much cooler and duller here today, but at least no rain!
