Dahlia Bloom Days


It is 
Garden Blogger's Bloom Day again! On the 15th of each month, we gardeners with blogs share a few bloom photos from our gardens.

Here in the Mid-Atlantic USA (USDA zone 7) on the DC-MD border, autumn is here and the leaves are falling and coating everything. We've had a few very cold days, but also a few very warm ones. We've also had some good rains.

This bloom day I thought I would share one of the Dahlias that is blooming now. I cut it and popped it in a bud vase to enjoy by my kitchen sink. Thank you to a garden friend who dropped off a box full of dahlia tubers earlier this year. He had over-ordered and I reaped the benefits. I threw them into containers, garden beds, and also over at the community garden plot. They have done well and I hope to dig and save some of the tubers successfully to grow next year.

In the garden also blooming today, I have blooming: Zinnias, Celosia, Gomphrena, Brazilian Verbena, Goldenrod, Toadlily, various Asters, Mums, Pansies/Viola, Impatiens, Fuchsia, Marigolds, Alyssum, Tithonia, Tall Sedum, PJM Rhododendron, and much more!

Be sure to follow @WDCgardener on Instagram for lots of pics of what is blooming in our garden and area gardens that we visit.

So what is blooming today in YOUR garden?

  5. Nice to see you have dahlia's blooming. We are awaiting a freeze warning for the next three nights, so we have been moving our potted plants in our shop for the winter.
