Crazy Love Dahlia After Morning Rain
This is my favorite. Why? Why not? It is truly beautiful, does not require too much care, seems to be disease and bug resistant, little watering. No 2 blooms seem exactly the same ... some with a little more violet, some a little more white, different size bands. It just adds that "something" to our garden.
Doug says this is pushing the boundaries of "perennial" because you have to dig it up and it's not hardy in most of North America. But I'm feeling relaxed this morning so maybe we can push the boundaries a bit for a great looking flower
