Dahlias are picking up now that the garden isn't en fuego 🌱

An orange dahlia with yellow center. NoID. A struggling white and pink dahlia with two types of petals and a yellow center. NoID. An almost perfect pink and white dahlia. Dark pink fades to pastel. A butter yellow dahlia with many thin petals. This is a second year and one of my own that I overwintered successfully.

If we could all channel Steve for humor and dahlias the world would be a much better place!

I agree! He's top tier. A little heavy on the cranky though 😏

It's the lack of sunshine up there in the PNW. Get him east to enjoy some Appalachian sunsets and stargazing and the crankiness will disappear.

Lack of both sunshine and kale will do a number on one's crankiness. Increase both, decrease crankiness. It's science.

I had a college buddy (chemical engineering major so not a complete dumbass) who made his own shine. I'm sure this does not surprise you in the least 😅

Aww man. Mine were doing the same but I gave them a trim and a bit of bone meal, things are looking up!

I was going to try superthrive but maybe I’ll do the bonemeal. It’s getting cooler here, hopefully I didn’t miss the window. Glad you had the payoff! Thanks for the tip!

Not this year. We just aren’t having the driveway dahlias going off like last year. The planted ones are doing well. Which is really forcing a decision come Fall…

Well I understand if they all end up in my mailbox, I wont mind ☺️ Seriously though, maybe you could put the ones that weren't happy in the hellbed? Idk if that area gets more sun or not but worth a try
