Dahlias - the Show begins!

This past week, the first of the dahlias have begun to open. My first two to bloom this year were "Weston Miss", pictured below, a miniature SC and "Jacs Sashay" a Collarette. Then the following dahlias opened: Top Left "Mary Hammett", Top Right "Yellow Baby"

Also opening was "Pooh" an orange and yellow Collarette. It is one of my favorite dahlias. Below, left, is a picture of "Emily C" an origination of the late Dick Canning. Below right is "Ms. Kennedy" a Miniature Ball in Orange.
