Hi all, I wanted some advice on where on the stem I'm Supposed to cut my Dalia's from die them to grow more? This is my 3rd year growing these beautiful flowers but I've not had much luck after cutting them so I assume I'm doing somthing wrong 😩

In would be incredibly grateful if somone on this wonderful sub could draw a little arrow on my pictures to help me figure out wheee I'm going wrong 🙏. I've been watching in awe at all of the gorgeous flowers you guys grown on this sub 🤯...I'm in complete and utter awe!

She’s a Tartar.

That’s not true!

My first bloom of my maarn dahlia bloomed the day I was leaving for 2 weeks so I cut it to bring with me and I’m so glad I did!

The picture on the left was taken Saturday afternoon and the picture on the right was taken just now, Tuesday morning.

The variety is “maarn”

Zone 6B, SW Ohio. I’m so happy with my blooms so far! Last year, I was infested with pests and ended up just tearing things out. This year is going so much better!

This is my first year growing dahlias and, safe to say, I'm addicted! I already have plans to create a bigger bed to plant more varieties next year. 🙂

I also tried drying some of my dahlias with silica gel and was surprised how well it worked and maintained their color! I made this shadowbox arrangement last night with what I dried!

The white variety is 'Dorothy R' and the pink is 'Peaches n' Cream'. I also tried 'Maltby Pearl' but only had one successful early bloom with that one. My late grandma was Dorothy R, so that variety has a special meaning to me! ☺️

I have seen so many little frogs this year! A few seem to have taken up home in some flowers. Myrtles brandy, HH Amethyst, HH black beauty, Bonaventure, fire magic(?), cabana banana(?), HH daydream, tartan, and a sad Kelvin floodlight with a giant bee

First time planting dahlias and so excited for our first blooms. A La Mode and Gabrielle Marie. Yay!!

Some pics from pruning yesterday! Many varieties here including foxy lady, red runner, coralie, valley porcupine, blizzard, Lisa Lisa, and Robin Hood.(If anyone has guesses on the id of the orange one in pics 1 and 3 I’d love to hear!)

Happy Tuesday

Keukenhof in the Netherlands is famous for its tulip displays in spring but there's also a lesser known dahlia display in August. Here are some pics I took!

The first I purchased as Terracotta, but it's definitely not! And the second was a gift from a friend's neighbor which seems to be mislabeled. The tag says "Thomas BD" which I assumed meant Thomas Edison but it doesn't look anything like one so either I'm reading it wrong or it was mislabeled. Any ideas?

The variety is called "Fluffles"
