"Myrtle's Folly" dahlia ... this bloom seems to be pinker than this variety usually is. (Roy) #canadagardens #gardensky #dahlias #dailydahlia #flowerscrolling #bloomscrolling #gaygardeners #queergardeners #dahliasfordiversity #flowerfeed #mygarden

I'm usually good at knowing the names of the plants I grow, but I've forgotten the name of this variety if hydrangea. I've had it for many years, but this year it's blooming better than it ever has before. (Roy)
I've been making a lot of bouquets lately ... here's today's. (Roy)
I cleaned & filled the hummingbird feeder today and minutes later the hummers were visiting it. (Roy)
Here's my first birdbath dahlia collage of the season. (Roy)
" Wine Eyed Jill", another early, reliable bloomer in the dahlia garden.
"Parland Rave" ... one of the earliest reliable bloomers in my dahlia garden.
The dahlias are blooming again. The first varieties to bloom this year are "Ferncliff Gumdrops" & "Baron Katie".
The second dahlia bed across the driveway. Number two of the large dahlia beds.
One of three dahlias beds on the property. This is the dahlia garden in the front of the house.
"Sonic Bloom' also known as "Sonic Boom". #canadagardens #gardensky #dahlias #dailydahlia #flowerscrolling #bloomscrolling #gaygardeners #queergardeners #dahliasfordiversity #flowerfeed #mygarden

"Yvonne". I love waterlily dahlias, especially this variety ... so beautiful in colour & form! #canadagardens #gardensky #dahlias #dailydahlia #flowerscrolling #bloomscrolling #gaygardeners #queergardeners #dahliasfordiversity #flowerfeed #mygarden
"Star's Favorite" ... I thought I had lost this variety, but lo & behold, it popped up as one of the No ID tubers that I dug up last fall. #canadagardens #gardensky #dahlias #dailydahlia #flowerscrolling #bloomscrolling #gaygardeners #queergardeners #dahliasfordiversity #flowerfeed #mygarden
