Dahlias & Zinnias anyone?
 

Anyone here grow Dahlias? I never get tired of growing these each season. I also love starting Zinnias from seed each Spring under T5's. They always grow like weeds every summer and get to about 4 or 5 feet tall.

My father with a vase full of Dahlias from my garden. Some people may think the dinnerplates are too huge and obnoxious. I think they're pretty fun and crazy looking:)

I like them all. They are so colorful.

WOW Those things are HUGE and yes beautiful too

i like both of them... but i'm not good in raising them! i love to see temperate gardens. esp those that come with bulbs!

You have a great green thumb! Everything you grow is beautiful! My white dahlia's bloomed again this year for me....but I didn't get any pictures. Love your colorful ones!

oh yeah, the dinnerplate dahlias are really big! awesome!

Those are some gorgeous blooms you've got there !!!! No luck with the Dahlias here. I only got to see one bloom on the Peaches and Cream and that was about it. However gladiolus and calla lilies did bloom nicely.

I love those dahlias! I just realized i bought like 20 dahlias this year...hmmm a hidden adiction!
