October flowers - DAHLIA
We have enjoyed a period of wonderful weather here where about I live, we call it Brittsommar and it is almost like your Indian summer, not as hot but still absolutely marvelous. The kitchen garden is still full of flowers - Nasturtiums, Pot Marigolds, Zinnias, Sweet Peas and Dahlias. The Dahlia on the picture is Bishop’s Children, a Dahlia I grow from seed. I planted them in April and now in October they are all “ in floribus”. I bought the seeds from US. SSE Seed Savers Exchange. The thing I really like with this Dahlia is the very dark foliage, isn’t it just fabulous
The Kichen Garden - Köksträdgården is just updated with a new post about Edible flowers.
By the way the Dahlia is also edible.

Heisann!
Join me on tracking, hiking or just a simple walk on Sunday!
Put on your walking shoes, bring with your camera and document what you see on October 9 and link to my blog!

such a pretty flower. All my Dahlias have failed this year so I think I might try growing them like you from seed next year
Hi Tyra! I did grow dahlias last year. Your photo is gorgeous!! I'm tempted to grow them again...our planting season is on now.
