🌸💜 A Little Late to the Party… But Worth the Wait! 💜🌸
Well, we have a couple of late bloomers who finally decided to show up! 😂 Better late than never, right?
These beauties were actually grown for a wedding, but they didn't quite make their grand entrance in time. Thankfully, we had plenty of other gorgeous purples to fill the gaps!
We're hoping for LOTS of tubers from these two because their colors are absolutely stunning, and we definitely want more of them next year!
We're not sure if their late arrival was due to acclimating to our area or because we kept them separated in pots while they grew. We are extremely careful when introducing new varieties to our field. Keeping our dahlias healthy and disease-free is so important to us!
Last year, we had to remove a couple of plants due to disease concerns. We even removed and replaced the surrounding soil and thoroughly sanitized our tools and tractor to help prevent anything from spreading. It's a lot of extra work, but protecting our field is worth every bit of it! 💚
Now, without further ado, please welcome Mr. Jimmy and Hello Dahlia! 💜🌸
🌸 Hello Dahlia – A newer variety introduced in 2022, and what a beauty she is! She's an informal decorative dahlia with glowing magenta blooms that gradually age into a gorgeous hot pink. Her blooms reach around 6 inches across, and she's definitely a keeper!
💜 Mr. Jimmy – Oh, this handsome fella! A smaller formal decorative dahlia with rich, saturated purple and plum tones. He's one of our true purples, and that color is absolutely gorgeous!
And guess what? We still have TWO more varieties getting ready to bloom for the very first time! As soon as they make their appearance, you know I'll be sharing them with you! 😍
🌸 Our flower stand will continue to be stocked through November, or until Mother Nature decides to freeze us out! 🍂
We feel incredibly blessed to still have so many beautiful blooms this late in the season. Every extra day in the flower field is a gift, and we love getting to share these beauties with all of you!
💜 Which one catches your eye—Mr. Jimmy or Hello Dahlia?
