1073 Hello Dahling

 

I planted dahlias from seed this year, and although they are lovely, they are not as beautiful or as intricate as those planted from tubers.  Maybe I'll try that next year.

675 Gardenia

The gardenia, my sister's favorite flower, is elegant and so fragrant, also very hard to grow in our climate, even for the summer.
