Dahlia celebration

We bought four new dahlias from a nursery some time ago, planted them in four containers, and hoped for the best. They are all looking fabulous, and the bees love the two open flowered varieties. So a blip to celebrate them.

J is still aching, but she has been better today - which is a relief.

* for my own record the dahlias are, top left and then clockwise - BJ beauty, summit festival, hadrians midnight and (with honey bee) twinings after eight
