No column from me today (back next week), just one of my fondant pink dahlias from the garden. 🌱

Dahlia Café au Lait in my London garden. The palest pink petals fading to ivory. A flower the size of my outstretched palm, one of several blooming in the garden this week.

To be honest, nothing. I usually give my dahlias a dose of tomato food every now and again, but this year, just rain water.

Early morning dahlia, over six feet tall.

A plum coloured dahlia, over six feet tall, variety unknown. It could be a variation of the usually brighter Emory Paul.

That is quite a sight to wake up to. Thank you for this.
