I got a bit fed up of dahlias in the house last summer. {rofwl}

I haven't started any this year yet, in case all of the borders and post burst into life ha haha. Probably be flowerless all year this time. )gr:


For the life of me I can't keep the tubers over winter, but like you have had great blooms from ones left in the ground.
I am now a widow and live with my memories.
