My lovely Café au Lait dahlias from this season! These were grown from tubers I purchased from Eden Brothers in early spring, and they’ve dazzled all summer with their enormous blooms.

I’ve gotten so many compliments — and comments like, “Dahlias shouldn’t be this big!” and “What did you do to them?!”

Well, clearly they can be!

(PS: I’m already dreaming of what I want to grow for next season!)
