Another overcast day..

Another grey, overcast day today. Unlike most of the other days the last two weeks, the clouds never burned off today. It was cool out and I wore a jacket down to the big garden. On the bright side, overcast days are great for taking pictures! Many more dahlia varieties were blooming for the first time.

"Ryecroft Zoe", a variety I have been admiring for a couple of years. I am so excited to finally have it in my garden this year.

"Kathy's Choice". While this is the first open bloom, there are already 10+ other buds ready to burst. It is such an early, prolific bloomer.

"Clearview David". I love how each white petal is tipped in lavender. So pretty in bouquets.

The poms continue to bloom. Here is "Irish Miss" a dark blend.

"L'Ancresse", a simple white ball form. Again, another really good variety for bouquets.

Last, but not least, "Willo Borealis". This might be my favorite pom. I love its violet plum color.
