First Dahlia Blooms

Since I was so late in getting my dahlia plants in the ground this year, it has delayed the arrival of blooms. But one form that is right on schedule is my Mignon Singles. These petite plants are as happy to be planted in pots as they are in the ground. Thus, they weren't too upset about getting left in their original pot all May and June. I still have plans to get these guys planted in the front of a flowerbed for the Summer but until then, I still get to enjoy these sweet little blooms.
